FAIR Research Software: from policy to practice

Welcome session

• Dr. Burcu Beygu, Research Data and Software Management expert of the UG Digital Competence Centre (DCC)

• 'The path of the UG towards FAIR and Open research software and the role of the CIT'

  • Prof. dr. Ronald Stolk, director of the Center for Information Technology (CIT) and CIO of the University of Groningen

• 'FAIR Software – the funder perspective'

  • Maria Cruz, programme Leader of Open Research Software and senior policy advisor in Open Science at NWO
  • "Research software plays a vital role in contemporary research by advancing scientific knowledge, fostering collaboration and ensuring reproducibility. Funders can play a crucial role in supporting open and FAIR research software and the people who develop it. In my talk, I’ll explain how NWO, now also through Open Science NL, supports and stimulates open and FAIR research software in the Netherlands and beyond."

• 'FAIR software: what does it mean for research in practice?'

  • Dr. Carlos Martinez-Ortiz,  Community Manager at the Netherlands eScience Center and project lead at the TDCC-NES.

  • "The FAIR principles for data management were introduced almost 10 years ago. Since then, there have been different efforts to adapt them to software and to integrate them into research practice. In this talk, I will talk about what has already been achieved, and what still needs to be done."

• 'The ParMALib Project: Preserving parallel algorithms for mathematical morphology for future scientists'

  • Dr. Michael Wilkinson, associate professor in Computer Science at the University of Groningen Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

• 'Building sustainable open-source scientific software'

  • Dr. Sebastiaan Mathot, assistant professor at the Department of Experimental Psychology of the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences of the University of Groningen.

• 'Knowledge Sharing for Researchers: Extracting, Indexing and Listing Replication Packages from Past Research'

  • Prof. Andrea Capiluppi, associate professor in Software Engineering at the University of Groningen Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
