Description
The Helmholtz Research Software Directory (Helmholtz RSD) has been established as a central marketplace for research software within the Helmholtz Association, fostering visibility and reuse of software assets. The talk will provide an overview of the current status of the Helmholtz RSD, highlight key achievements from the past year. We will introduce the newly developed License Consultation service, that is designed to establish a framework for tailored license consultation processes at individual Helmholtz Centres.

In this context, we will provide insight into the associated project nfdi.software and its role in the RSD ecosystem. Lastly, we will outline the contribution of the RSD to the Helmholtz Software Indicator, indicating potential use cases that will aid software developers in assessing their research software for the upcoming PoF period.
