Towards a monitoring framework to benchmark the ADORE.software recommendations and improve the sustainability of research software
September 11-13, 2024, in Uppsala, Sweden
The SciLifeLab Data Centre and the Research Software Alliance (ReSA) are hosting an international workshop in Uppsala September 11-13, 2024. And the European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence (EVERSE) is hosting a satellite workshop on September 10 in Uppsala (and online).
The workshop will focus on operationalizing the Amsterdam Declaration on Funding Research Software Sustainability (ADORE.software) by developing a monitoring framework to benchmark how funders are currently supporting the sustainability of research software using the recommendations as a starting point. Additionally, the workshop will examine how such a monitoring framework can be leveraged by funders and the community to prioritize critical areas for improvement.
As the importance of research software – and the people who develop and maintain it – has become increasingly apparent, so has the need to sustain it. Funders can play a crucial role by ensuring structural support. During the workshop, participants will work together to explore how they can support the advancement of research software, and how they can measure this support.
The workshop will build on the first (2022) and second (2023) international funders workshops, and Research Software Funders Forum, involving 60+ funding organisations from across the globe. The 2022 workshop initiated the drafting of the Amsterdam Declaration on Funding Research Software Sustainability (ADORE.software), which was released for signing at the 2023 workshop.
