Background

According to the Helmholtz Open Science Policy our aim is to have research software policies in place in all the Helmholtz Centres by 2025. To support this endeavour, the Task Group Research Software of the Working Group Open Science and the Helmholtz Open Science Office offer the Helmholtz Open Science Forum: Research Software. 

On the first day of the meeting, the 6th iteration of the Forum will feature an in-depth introduction of the "Helmholtz Quality Indicator for Software Products" and its practical implementation at the Centers.

On the second day several Helmholtz software project are featured and we have a discussion on future topics of the Task Group on Research Software.

Previous Helmholtz Open Science Fora on Research Software event were held in May 2021April 2022November 2022May 2023, and February 2024.
