UKRI is continuing to help improve research software practices by providing further funding for the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI). The fourth phase of funding for the institute will be led by AHRC and will focus on:
• environmental sustainability
• equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in the research software community
• the rising interest in AI and machine learning
The Software Sustainability Institute's mission is to transform research culture by establishing the principle that reliable, reproducible, and reusable software is necessary across all research disciplines.
It achieves this by working with, and investing in, individuals and organisations from across the sector.
The fourth phase of the SSI will be funded through the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) programme. DRI supports critical improvements in digital services.
The SSI is based at the universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, and Southampton.
