Description
FutuRSI is a recently started project with the aim to establish a national research software institution facilitating collaboration between research institutions and domains, coordinating services and offerings, and empowering and connecting people developing research software across Germany. The portfolio shall also include offers related to teaching - aside of courses run by FutuRSI partners, a database of workshop offers by various organisations, of freely usable teaching materials, a place to connect carpentries instructors in Germany, and more are thinkable. In this session we want to shortly introduce FutuRSI before discussing potential formats and services related to teaching. Input and feedback from the community will help to identify gaps FutuRSI could close to support educators and develop a portfolio that truly boosts the community.
From within Helmholtz, HZDR and FZJ contribute their experiences from HIFIS and JuRSE to the FutuRSI project. Further project partners are the GI, deRSE, SUB Göttingen, and Zedif in Jena. Funding comes from the Klaus Tschira Stiftung.
