Excited to introduce our 2026 Accessibility Fellows: Sandra Naikambo, Asmaa Rashad, An Thu Nguyen, Raydon Shitambasi, Aishwarya T.V., and Carlos Andres Olivera Caballero.
We are able to do this thanks to our Accessibility Partners @ResearchSoftEng and @linuxaustralia - as well as our Asia Australia Spotlight Partner ACCESS-NRI!
These six advocates and technologists are helping us stay accountable to real accessibility needs at Equersa 2026 - which includes Research Software Asia Australia, @RSAfrica, and Research Software Latinoamérica.
And we want you there too. Registration is open now - and scholarships (free tickets) are available for those who need them. For the one ticket, you get access to all three conferences!
Whether you're a researcher, RSE, research infrastructure, student, or accessibility advocate, there's a place for you at this year's event.

@RSAfrica is examining the critical intersection of generative AI and sustainability. With 3 panels we're exploring the ethics, environmental impact, and challenges of accurate outputs from AI systems that are increasingly shaping our universities and institutions.
As AI becomes more embedded in academic and institutional settings, it's essential we understand not just what these systems can do, but what they cost in energy, resources, and human labour.
On AI Sustainability Day, we're bringing together researchers and practitioners to have these conversations.
Registrations are open at https://research-software-africa.org and registrations for RSAfrica26 gives you a ticket to RSAA26 too!

Research software should be identifiable, connected, and reusable. At IRSC 2026, Maria Levchenko will show how DataCite DOIs and metadata support long-term preservation and reproducibility, and connect software with related research outputs.

🇩🇪 Eine Forschungssoftware-Institution (RSI) in Deutschland sollte mit etablierten Initiativen und Organisationen im Land zusammenarbeiten. Wie soll jedoch die internationale Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Institutionen aussehen?
🙌 Diesem Thema widmet sich der sechste und letzte Beitrag unserer aktuellen Blogpost-Reihe. 19 Forschungs- und Infrastrukturinstitutionen aus Deutschland, Europa und Nordamerika wurden analysiert, um wichtige Erkenntnisse für die Konzeptionierung einer bundesweiten RSI in Deutschland zu gewinnen. Schreibt uns eure Meinung sowie Feedback gerne in die Kommentare!

🏴 A Research Software Institution (RSI) in Germany should collaborate with established initiatives and organisations in the country. But what form should international collaboration with other institutions take?
🙌 The sixth and final post in our current blog post series is devoted to this topic. We analysed 19 research and infrastructure institutions from Germany, Europe and North America to gain key insights for the design of a nationwide RSI in Germany. Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback in the comments!

Just finished listening to the first episode of @Felienne and Hanna Schraffenberger’s #podcast CS off course:
https://rss.com/podcasts/computer-science-off-course/2968986/
What stuck most: how tools for building #software are designed to build but not to keep track of the thought process.
This would also be a way to make CS output truly #reproducible. I love the idea of having an atlas type annotation tool. Testing would be more involved, metrics for #reproducibility of #researchsoftware are still illdefined. -

🇩🇪 Die Internationale RSE-Studie 2026 hat gezeigt: 85% der Befragten würden die Etablierung einer Forschungssoftware-Institution (RSI) in Deutschland unterstützen! Aber was sollte eine solche Institution konkret tun?
Diese und weitere Einblicke in die Meinungen und Bedürfnisse der RSE-Community in Deutschland greifen wir in unserem neuen Blogbeitrag auf. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse der Studie besprechen wir die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse für unser Projekt.
➡️ Jetzt reinschauen: https://www.futursi.de/de/newsfeed/international_survey/
Zur Studie: Die „International RSE Survey 2026“ wurde vom UK Software Sustainability Institute bis Ende März durchgeführt. Das Ziel: Ein klareres Bild über den Alltag und die Arbeit von RSEs weltweit zu schaffen.
➡️ Hier geht es zu den Ergebnissen: https://www.software.ac.uk/news/rse-survey-data-release
