📋 Tender Overview
The EU-funded project EVERSE (European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence) aims to ensure the reliability of research software while investigating questions about effective reusability and its long-term sustainability. To this end, an international network is to be set up in which the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) plays a leading role.
Research software is a collective term for computer codes that are directly involved in the research process and contribute to gaining knowledge. These can be control programs for large research facilities, computer simulations or software tailored to specific research problems. Research communities around the world are developing a variety of such applications. A common concern is to ensure the reliability of these applications while addressing questions about effective reusability and their long-term sustainability. The international project EVERSE is dedicated to this task. Those involved want to create a network to ensure the quality of research software. The Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is playing a leading role in this.
EVERSE not only takes into account the actual development of research software, but also community engagement . The project partners intend to create uniform structures across disciplinary boundaries. Five European science clusters are therefore involved :
ESCAPE (Astro and Particle Physics)
ENVRI (environmental science)
EOSC- Life (life sciences)
PaNOSC (Photon and Neutron Sciences)
SSHOC (Social and Social Sciences)
In addition to the focus on community engagement , the HZDR will also represent the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS) as part of one of the participating science clusters.
