The RSE Asia Association was launched during a project under the Open Life Science Cohort-4 programme (OLS-4) programme by Saranjeet Kaur Bhogal and Jyoti Bhogal, under the Mentorship of Dr. Anne Fouilloux. It was launched on Thursday, 14th October 2021, which is also the first International RSE Day. At the launch event we conducted activities for contributing to Hacktoberfest 2021.
