The Netherlands, Germany and France - the founding member states of the initiative - will each be represented in the Committee by two experts: one from the ministerial level, one from the research community. Aart Jan Bette and Prof Dr Rianne Letschert will represent the Netherlands, Dr Hans-Josef Linkens and Prof Dr Heike Neuroth will represent Germany, and Marin Dacos and Prof Dr Jean-Pierre Vilotte will represent France. The GO FAIR Steering Committee will provide high-level guidance to the GO FAIR initiative and take strategic decisions based on national coordination and needs.

Initially, the Committee will consist of six members - two from each participating country - and will be expanded as further member states join the initiative. Prof Barend Mons, Strategic Director of GO FAIR, will initially serve as the Secretary of the Steering Committee. Members of the GO FAIR Steering Committee were present at the GO FAIR country meeting on October 26, 2018 that aimed at strengthening the GO FAIR approach on country level in Europe. The country meeting was a huge success: 34 country representatives participated with a total number of 18 countries being represented. The European Commission was also represented: Jean-Claude Burgelman attended the meeting and gave an update on the development of the European Open Science Cloud. The participating countries showed great interest in becoming part of the GO FAIR initiative and building on the on-going momentum within the GO FAIR ecosytems.

Prof Dr Jean-Pierre Vilotte, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) Jean-Pierre Vilotte is Professor at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) and Head of the High Performance Data and Computational Center (S-CAPAD) of IPGP. More information on the Steering Committee can be found here: https://www.go-fair.org/go-fair-initiative/governance/steering-committee/ For more information on the GO FAIR initiative visit: https://www.go-fair.org/ Background information: The GO FAIR initiative is a bottom-up international approach for the practical implementation of the European Open Science Cloud as part of a global Internet of FAIR Data & Services. The initiative aims at avoiding silo formation, undue competition and fragmentation by fostering concerted "FAIRification" efforts by its participants. France, Germany and the Netherlands have established an internationally operating office at three sites - Paris, Hamburg and Leiden - to support the implementation and further development of the GO FAIR initiative. Strategic Directors are Prof Patrick Garda (France), Prof Klaus Tochtermann (Germany) and Prof Barend Mons (The Netherlands). The initiative is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).

Umfrage über Personen die Forschungssoftware schreiben / Study about people writing research software
by Konrad Förstner 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

English version below Umfrage über Personen die Forschungssoftware schreiben Hallo allerseits, Seit 2016 führt das Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) Umfragen über Research Software Engineers (RSEs) durch, um mehr über sie und ihre Arbeitsbedingungen zu erfahren. In den letzten Jahren hat sich die RSE-Community zu einem internationalen Phänomen entwickelt. Verschiedene nationale Chapter sind auf der ganzen Welt aktiv, z.B. in Deutschland [1], um die Wissenschaft auf den ständig wachsenden Einfluss von Forschungssoftware vorzubereiten, die dahinter stehenden Menschen zu unterstützen, und um die verschiedenen Interessengruppen zu vernetzen, z.B. im kommenden Jahr auf einer Konferenz in Deutschland [2]. Es ist wichtig, mehr über die RSE-Gemeinschaft zu erfahren, so dass unsere Unterstützung und die unserer internationalen Partner weiterhin dabei helfen, dass RSEs die Anerkennung erlangen, die sie für ihren enormen Beitrag zur Forschung verdienen. Die internationale Umfrage in 2018 ist derzeit für Teilnehmer bis zum 3. Dezember geöffnet. Wenn ihr sie ausfüllen möchtet, dann erreicht ihr die Umfrage unter folgender URL: https://softwaresaved.limequery.com/20181?lang=de-informal Die Umfrage soll helfen, Einblicke in und Informationen über die RSE-Community zu gewinnen, um mit den Ergebnissen Förderorganisationen und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen bei der Entwicklung von Strategien und Förderprogrammen sowie von Leit- und Richtlinien zu unterstützen. Die Umfrage gibt Dir die Möglichkeit, Deine Sicht und Erfahrung mit einfließen zu lassen und damit an der zukünftigen Gestaltung der Community teilzuhaben. Du kennst Andere, die Software im Umfeld von Forschung und Wissenschaft entwickeln? Dann informiere sie bitte über diese Umfrage! Nur eine rege Teilnahme und Antworten, die von überall aus Deutschland kommen und die unterschiedlichsten Bereiche repräsentieren, gewährleisten einen umfassenden Einblick zu diesem Thema. Wir freuen uns über Eure Teilnahme! Vielen Dank, Stephan und Martin PS> Ganz unten findet ihr noch einen Abschnitt mit Verbesserungspotential für die diesjährige Umfrage [1] https://www.de-rse.org/de/ [2] https://www.de-rse.org/de/conf2019/index.html ------------------------------------------------- Study about people writing research software Hi everyone, Since 2016, the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) conducts surveys of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) to learn more about them and their work conditions. Over the last years the RSE community has grown to an international phenomenon. Various national chapters are active around the globe, e.g. in Germany [3], to prepare science for the ever-increasing influence of research software, to support the people behind, and to connect RSEs and relevant stakeholders, e.g. at a German conference in 2019 [4]. It's important to learn more about this community so that our campaigning, and that of our international partners, continues to help RSEs gain the recognition they deserve for their huge contribution to research. The international 2018 survey is currently open for participants until December 3. If you wish to fill it, you can follow this link to the survey: https://bit.ly/RSESurvey2018 This survey aims to gain valuable insights into the RSE community in order to support research funders, research institutions, universities and others to develop strategies and funding programs as well as policies. The survey gives you the opportunity to make your point of view and experiences be heard, and thus be part of the development of this community. In case you know others who develop software in research, please feel free to forward this invitation. We look forward to your participation! Many thanks, Stephan and Martin [3] https://www.de-rse.org/en/ [4] https://www.de-rse.org/en/conf2019/index.html ------------------------------------------------- Verbesserungspotential 2018 Letztes Jahr haben 325 Personen die Umfrage abgeschlossen, 30% in Englisch.
