Research Software Alliance

We’re collaborating with ReSA for our next webinar in the EVERSE Network webinar series, where we’ll be sharing practical guidance for research software managers and open science team leaders. Register for the webinar and join us online: indico.cern.ch/e/EVERSE_ReS...

⬢ This morning, we officially launched the Institute for Research Software, marking an exciting new chapter for what was previously the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI).

🌍 Research software is essential to research, but sustaining it requires global coordination. Our blog explores how #IRSC26 brought together leaders and decision-makers to address shared challenges and shape the future of #ResearchSoftware in the age of GenAI. 🔗 www.researchsoft.org/blog/2026-10/

🎉 Registration is open for the inaugural International Research Software Conference: tinyurl.com/IRSC-registr... On 7-8 September, leaders and decision-makers from the global #ResearchSoftware community will come together in Sheffield and remotely. One conference. One community. A shared agenda.

ReSA’s July newsletter (preview.mailerlite.io/preview/7781...) is here! - News, incl. @softwaresaved.bsky.social Responsible AI Risk Register for RSE - IRSC partner: @ncsaatillinois.bsky.social - Dutch ADORE.software signatories meet Subscribe: www.researchsoft.org/news/ #ResearchSoftware #IRSC26

Why does a two-day conference matter? Because it serves a goal far bigger to recognise research software and its personnel. That doesn’t happen by accident. It takes community leaders and champions aligning on a shared agenda. IRSC is where that alignment happens. www.researchsoft.org/irsc/
