Send us a textDr Uwe Konrad von der Helmholtz Forschungsgemeinschaft stellt den neuen Preis für Softwareentwicklung vor. Obwohl der Preis im Moment nur für Helmholtzprojekte (oder solche mit hauptsächlicher Beteiligung von Helmholtz) zur Verfügung steht, hofft Dr Konrad dass der Preis Schule macht. Denn schliesslich wird es endlich Zeit, dass Software (und deren EntwicklerInnen) ernst genommen wird und als gleichwertiger Beitrag von Forschungsprojekten anerkannt wird.Die Frist für Bewerbungen ist der 30. September.  Die einzelnen Helmholtzinstitute haben interne Fristen auf die im Gespräch nochmal hingewiesen wird.Der Link für den Preis ist hierhttps://os.helmholtz.de/en/newsroom/news/article/helmholtz-incubator-software-award/Support the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textThe guest for this episode is Teresa Gomez-Diaz from Université Paris Gustave-Eiffel, east of Paris, France. For a long time Teresa has been promoting Open Science and last year she talked on this show about the need for licences in research software.Teresa and her collaborator, Tomas Recio from the University Antonio de Nebrija, Madrid published two papers about Research Data and how to ensure they adhere to Open Science and in particular FAIR principles. We start with a discussion of the so-called Borgman conundrum, or why it is hard to share research data before going into what we can do about it. A couple of clarifying notes: Teresa speaks of F mille, which refers to F1000Research. Also, when "users" of research data are being mentioned, it refers to authors and contributors.Links:https://f1000research.com/articles/11-118/v2 Research Software vs. Research Data I: Towards a Research Data definition in the Open Science contexthttps://f1000research.com/articles/11-117/v2 Research Software vs. Research Data II: Protocols for Research Data dissemination and evaluation in the Open Science context - introduces CDUR protocolhttps://zenodo.org/record/8159906 Zenodo preprint of the papersBorgman's Conundrumhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/asi.22634 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228295710_The_Conundrum_of_Sharing_Research_Datahttps://coara.eu Coalition for Advancing Research AssessmentUpcoming conferences: https://rsecon23.society-rse.org UK RSE Conference in Swansea, UK, 5-8 September with satellite eventshttps://hidden-ref.org/festival-of-hidden-ref/ Hidden Ref Festival in Bristol, UK, 21 Septemberhttps://un-derse23.sciencesconf.org German Unconference in Jena, Germany,  26-28 Septemberhttps://us-rse.org/usrse23/ First ever US RSE Conference in Chicago, USA, 16-18 OctoberSupport the showThank you for listening!
