Call for submissions: RSECon25 (9-11 September 2025, Coventry, UK). RSECon is the annual conference for Research Software Engineering. Calls are now open for talks, walkthroughs, interactive sessions, skills and community workshops, hackathons, Birds of a Feather, and Posters. This year there will be two themes: RSE as Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI), and RSE and Research Excellence. Deadline for submissions: 25 April, 2025 Full details: https://edin.ac/3FyYSRi

Professional skills development for RSEs specialising in HPC. The UNIVERSE-HPC project worked to define training frameworks for Research Software Engineers (RSE) specialising in HPC. Its underlying goal was to enable more people from a wide diversity of disciplines and backgrounds to obtain the skills and experience required for a successful RSE career. In her article, EPCC's Weronika Filinger reviews this collaboration between The University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford, University of Southampton and Imperial College London and looks to the future. https://ow.ly/laHH50VfoVb Society of Research Software Engineering Neil Chue Hong Kirsty Pringle Simon Hettrick David Gavaghan Martin Robinson Fergus Cooper Eirini Zormpa Steve Crouch

Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) is looking for speakers for its Tech Talks sessions at ISC High Performance in June 2025. Speakers will have the opportunity to showcase how they are pushing the boundaries of HPC, whether through groundbreaking research or innovative career trajectories. Presentations that highlight novel approaches, diverse perspectives, and the transformative power of HPC in shaping the future are encouraged, but talks can focus on any aspect of HPC.

FAIR4RS Principles Review Released in 2022, the FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS) Principles aim to promote and encourage the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR) of research software. This survey seeks to understand whether the principles have been useful and useable, or difficult to understand or implement. What's your opinion? Survey closes March 7th 2025 https://edin.ac/3Xi1Yz5

The Software Sustainability Institute has received £4.8m from UK Research and Innovation to launch the Research Software Maintenance Fund. Many researchers rely on software but it can be difficult for the people and projects developing it to find resources to maintain or update it. This funding is designed to help sustain key research software, ensuring it is reliable and accessible. This new initiative will play a crucial role in strengthening research software maintenance in the UK, ensuring essential tools remain available to the research community. https://edin.ac/4byDiID

Join us for the International Workshop on RISC-V for HPC, co-located with ISC High Performance 2025, on Friday, June 13 in Hamburg, Germany! The call for papers ISC25 is open now until Sunday, March 16. Submit here: https://hubs.la/Q038pnd_0 HPC is tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges with incredible processing power, but as demand for greater performance grows, so does the need for sustainability. RISC-V is driving momentum in the HPC community by solving performance and energy bottlenecks. In a recent blog, EPCC's Nick Brown highlighted successful events from SC24 and how you can be a part of this momentum at ISC25: https://hubs.la/Q038pP0b0

Supporting research into progressive steatotic liver disease. EPCC will host the NHS data that underpins SteatoSITE, a unique Scottish project developing new tests and treatments for people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
