We’re excited to share our latest policy brief: Software as a First Class Citizen in Research!
💡 Through this document, and through EVERSE’s objectives, we are working to ensure that research software that is developed is credited, has proper documentation and can be reused, reviewed and built on by others.
📃 This brief provides an actionable framework with key recommendations by EVERSE on how this could actually be achieved.

Some glimpses from deRSE 2026!
The Digital Research Academy had an amazing time connecting with the Research Software Engineering community, exchanging ideas on Open Science and meeting many inspiring people at our booth.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat and grab some merch. We loved the conversations!

If you are coming to #ICSE2026 and are interested in #ResearchSoftware, I hope you can come to the #SERS2026 workshop
📢 The program for the 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering and Research Software #SERS2026 is now online!
🔗 https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2026/sers-2026#program
Our #ICSE2026 workshop aims to bring the particular needs of research software engineering to, and those who write that software into, the #SoftwareEngineering community at #ICSE.
It's jam-packed with 19 short presentations and a collaborative session around overarching topics such as understanding research software engineering, quality and maintainability of #ResearchSoftware, software in the context of research and research software ecosystems and communities.
1st International Workshop onSoftware Engineering and Research Software (SERS 2026) Tuesday, 14 April 2026 Software enables critical research in a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. Yet those who write this “research software” are often disconnected from the software engineering research (SER) community, whose research does not focus on the unique challenges of research software. This initial Software Engineering and Research Software (SERS) in-person workshop aims to bring the particular needs of research software engineering to, and those who write that software into, the ...
If anybody wants to be my direct colleague: we have an open vacancy for a full-stack research software engineer in our "Team Text" at the KNAW Humanities Cluster (Amsterdam): https://vacatures.knaw.nl/job/Amsterdam-Full-Stack-Research-Software-Engineer-HuC-Humanities-Cluster/1344086855/
Great for people who have an affinity with text, language, annotations, science, the humanities and open-source technology! Aside from front-end-skills, #python and #rust skills are much appreciated, as are generic linux and devops skills.

@dfg_public funding will enable a German broad infrastructure for #ResearchSoftware
#ConnOSS would get the metadata, find.software could expose it in a catalogue, CORSES could use it to find expertise and experts. Domain-based projects scverse. CAES³AR, swmath will support specific communities.
#ConnOSS https://connoss-project.github.io @ZBMED @GESIS #UniOldenburg #ConnOSS ready to collaborate and help build this broad #RSE infrastructure!
