This is a BioExcel webinar by Steve Crouch from Software Sustainability Institute (SSI).

We’ll explore the importance of research software, and the practices we can employ to develop it to help ensure its sustainability in the short, medium, and long term. We’ll also look at the different and emerging styles of Management Plans for software, and how software evaluation can identify areas for improvement and assist in the shaping of future development goals, and the potential for automation to allow evaluation to be conducted at scale.

Software has a crucial role in the research process across many disciplines. As it continues to underpin our science and help push the boundaries of what is achievable, it becomes increasingly important that the sustainability of our software is given sufficient attention to ensure it can continue to evolve and grow to meet ever-changing research goals.
