Thursday 10th October is International RSE Day! How will you be celebrating? Let us know! #IntlRSEday https://lnkd.in/ejRK8j7x

Phew! We spent the weekend recovering our energy after a great time at #RSECon24 last week 😅 Three days of engaging discussions, fascinating talks, and valuable interactive sessions. We are so grateful to everyone who joined – in Newcastle or remotely. YOU are what makes RSECon such an exciting event every year! If you were there too, let us know your highlights in the comments! We hope to see you again for #RSECon25 at the University of Warwick.

The community is hosting three satellite events around #RSECon24 today, before the full conference kicks off tomorrow. 🛰 UK Trusted Research Environments (TRE) Community Meeting 🛰 Back to the Fortran Future: workshop on sustaining Fortran Research Software 🛰 RSE Leaders and Aspiring Leaders Meeting

🔴 We are happy to announce that the SSI has received funding for a fourth phase which will last from 2024 to 2028 and focus on environmental sustainability, EDIA in the research software community, and the rising interest in AI and ML. Phase 4 of the SSI received funding through the UK Research and Innovation Digital Research Infrastructure Programme and will be led by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

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. See the news section of our website for further information.
