Challenges and Opportunities for Open-Source Software: The Case of JASP

JASP is celebrated for its intuitive interface, modular design, and commitment to accessibility, qualities that make it a favorite among educators, researchers, and students alike. Yet behind JASP’s success lies a compelling journey: one of technical innovation, community building, and navigating the realities of academia.  The keynote from Eric-Jan Wagenmakers will speak directly to the heart of the National Research Software Day: how we build, support, and recognize the work of research software engineers, and how we can shape a future where tools like JASP not only survive, but thrive.
