EVERSE: European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence

EVERSE项目旨在创建一个研究软件和代码卓越的框架，由五个EOSC科学集群和国家研究软件专业中心的研究社区共同设计和倡导，以追求建立一个欧洲研究软件质量网络，并为未来的研究软件卓越虚拟研究所奠定基础。这个研究软件卓越的框架将包括社区管理、质量评估和研究软件的最佳实践等方面。这些集体知识将在Research Software Quality toolkit （RSQkit）中获得，RSQkit是一个知识库，用于收集和管理将有助于跨不同学科的高质量软件和代码的专业知识。通过将RSQkit和服务嵌入到EOSC科学集群中，EVERSE将展示研究软件质量的改进，并最大限度地提高其重用性，从而实现标准化的软件开发实践和可持续的研究软件。此外，我们将推动对软件的认可，并支持开发人员的职业发展，从编写代码的研究人员到rse，提高他们保证软件质量的能力。欧洲研究软件质量网络旨在促进不同研究领域的交叉发展，作为一个游说组织，并提高人们对软件作为研究的关键推动者的认识，其总体目标是通过提高研究软件和代码的质量来加速研究和创新。EVERSE的终极目标是为一种文化变革做出贡献，在这种变革中，研究软件被认为是科学过程中的一等公民，而为之做出贡献的人则因他们的努力而受到赞扬。

The EVERSE project aims to create a framework for research software and code excellence, collaboratively designed and championed by the research communities across five EOSC Science Clusters and national Research Software Expertise Centres, in pursuit of building a European network of Research Software Quality and setting the foundations of a future Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence. This framework for research software excellence will incorporate aspects involving community curation, quality assessment, and best practices for research software. This collective knowledge will be captured in the Research Software Quality toolkit (RSQkit), a knowledge base to gather and curate expertise that will contribute to high-quality software and code across different disciplines. By embedding the RSQkit and services into the EOSC Science Clusters, EVERSE will demonstrate improvements in the quality of research software and maximise its reuse, leading to standardised software development practices and sustainable research software. Furthermore, we will drive recognition of software and support career progress for developers, from researchers who code to RSEs, raising their capacity to guarantee software quality. The European network for Research Software Quality aims to cross-fertilise different research domains, act as a lobbying organisation, and raise awareness of software as a key enabler in research, with the overall ambition to accelerate research and innovation through improving the quality of research software and code. EVERSE ultimate ambition is to contribute towards a cultural change where research software is recognized as a first-class citizen of the scientific process and the people that contribute to it are credited for their efforts.
