+        ReSA forums bring together organisations and individuals from across the international research software community who are committed to recognising and supporting research software, and those who develop and maintain it, as fundamental and vital to research.
+
+        Each forum provides a formal mechanism for stakeholders to share practices, address common challenges, and identify opportunities for collaboration and coordinated action. Together, the forums aim to drive the cultural change needed to strengthen the recognition, development, and long-term sustainability of research software across the global research sector.
+
+        ReSA convenes the following forums, each focused on a particular area of the research software ecosystem:
+
+        * [Research Software Funders Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/funders-forum/)  
+        * [Research Software Policy (RSP) Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/rsp-forum/)  
+        * [Publishing Research Software (PubSoft) Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/pubsoft-forum/)  
+        * [Metascience and Research Software (MaRS) Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/mars-forum/)  
+        * [Skills and Training for Research Software (STaRS) Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/stars-forum/)  
+        * [Research Software Infrastructure (RSI) Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/rsi-forum/)  
+        * [Research Software Community Leadership Forum](https://www.researchsoft.org/forums/community-leadership-forum/)
+
+        ReSA also serves as the secretariat for:
+
+        * [Amsterdam Declaration on Funding Research Software Sustainability (ADORE)](https://adore.software/)  
+        * [International Council of RSE Associations](https://researchsoftware.org/council.html)
+
+        ## Get involved
