April 10-11, 2025 ♦ Arizona State University Barrett & O'Connor Washington Center
BlueSky: SciCodes #scicodes
The Consortium of Scientific Software Registries and Repositories (SciCodes) 2025 Collaboration Workshop, scheduled for April 10-11, 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 on April 9, 2025, with up to 50 participants to reflect on the current state and future trajectories of the research software ecosystem.
SciCodes is holding a half-day symposium on April 9, 2025 to invite the research software engineering (RSEng), funder, and science communities to reflect and focus on a long term visions and aspirations for research software and computational science.
This symposium will provide concrete guidance on development priorities for science gateways and research software registries and repositories; it will also help guide the work that SciCodes participants do in a follow-up workshop.
The symposium will be a hybrid event held in Washington DC (limit of 50 in-person attendees) with remote participation via Zoom and include a keynote address by Katherine Skinner from Invest in Open Infrastructure, a panel discussion with Daniel S. Katz (NCSA, U. Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Hervé Ménager (Institut Pasteur), and a facilitated open discussion with all attendees, both in-person and remote.
