Open Research Conversations x Lunchbytes session: Making research software more visible and reusable: Open Source Software and FAIR4RS

Taking place as part of both the Open Research Conversations seminar series and the University of Sheffield Research Software Engineering team’s Lunchbytes series, this session explores the FAIR4RS principles, which seek to make research software more visible and accessible to, and reusable by, potential future users.

In this conversation, experts from the University’s Research Software community explore how the FAIR principles - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable - can be applied to research software. With reference to specific projects they have supported, our speakers will detail how the FAIR practices increased the software’s potential impact and created possibilities for valuable future collaborations.

Speakers will include Romain Thomas (Head of Research Software Engineering, University of Sheffield), Sylvia Whittle (Research Software Engineer) and David Wilby (Senior Research Software Engineer).
