Purpose
The Consortium of Scientific Software Registries and Repositories (SciCodes) 2025 Collaboration Workshop, scheduled for April 9-11, 2025 in Washington, DC, will bring together editors and maintainers of diverse scientific software registries and repositories alongside open research software advocates and practitioners. This will be a small event with 20 invited participants due to the workshop’s needs and goals, venue capacity, and available funding. The workshop’s goals are to: (1) improve adoption of and revisit our published best practices for research software registries and repositories, (2) enable software search and discovery over multiple member resources through interoperable metadata, and (3) advance published research software quality through supporting cyberinfrastructure that help communities adopt FAIR and frictionless software engineering practices.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has provided funding for the workshop and symposium, and Arizona State University is providing access to its event facilities within the Barrett & O’Connor Washington Center.
The workshop will also be preceded by a half-day pre-workshop symposium with up to 50 participants to reflect on the current state and future trajectories of the research software ecosystem.
Mini-symposium
A half-day symposium on April 9th, 2025 will invite diverse voices from the research software engineering (RSEng), funder, and science communities, to reflect and focus on long term vision and aspirations for research software and computational science. This will help inform subsequent workshop activities and provide concrete guidance on development priorities for our individual science gateways, registries, and repositories.
The symposium will offer remote access via Zoom and include a keynote address, panel discussion, and facilitated open discussion with all attendees, both in-person and remote.
