When: May 7 to 9, 2024
Where: Virtual and in-person at NASA HQ in Washington, D.C., USA
The 2024 Software for the NASA Science Mission Directorate Workshop aims to explore the current opportunities and challenges for the various categories and lifecycle stages of software that are relevant for activities funded by the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This includes increasing the visibility of software being developed and igniting wider collaborations on those challenges between centers, missions, data repositories, and sciences.
We invite the community to this hybrid workshop to discuss these topics, identify opportunities and challenges in each, and set priorities for paths forward as possible. The workshop will be hosted at NASA HQ in Washington, D.C. from Tuesday, May 7 to Thursday, May 9. There will be no registration fee and the meeting will be virtual with an option for in-person attendance. In-person attendance will be limited by venue capacity.
Key Objectives
- Bring together those interested in software for the NASA Science Mission Directorate to facilitate new collaborations across centers and sciences.
- Identify opportunities and challenges in different stages of the software lifecycle.
- Identify software being developed, areas of expertise, resources, and best practices for the NASA software community.
- Provide community feedback to prioritize paths forward.
Who Is This For?
The target audience for this event is primarily NASA employees and contractors working on SMD missions, data repositories, or at centers or partners. The meeting will be held openly and others are welcome to join. In-person attendance will prioritize NASA employees and contractors.
Future events will be organized with a focus on research software for Earth and space sciences.
