International Research Software Funders Workshop 2024 – Building a Sustainable Future for Research Software
The 2024 International Research Software Funders Workshop continued to progress the way funders sustain and support research software. This hybrid event in September in Uppsala, Sweden, brought together funders and experts in research software to discuss operationalising the Amsterdam Declaration on Funding Research Software Sustainability (ADORE.software). ADORE.software aims to raise awareness of the role of funding practice in the sustainability of research software, and to improve that practice.
This year’s workshop focused on developing funders’ monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess what is working and why in funders’ support for research software impact. Presentations from this year’s Funder Workshop and the EVERSE (European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence) satellite event are available here. See also SciLifeLab and Data Centre co-host two events: Elevating the importance of research software in Sweden and a summary of the EVERSE event, Building the future of research software as a first-class citizen in science; a global perspective.
