Joint Lab HiRSE: Helmholtz Information - Research Software Engineering
The Joint Lab HiRSE and HiRSE concept see the establishment of central activities in RSE and the targeted sustainable funding of strategically important codes by so-called Community Software Infrastructure (CSI) groups as mutually supportive aspects of a single entity.
In a first “preparatory study”, HiRSE_PS evaluated the core elements of the HiRSE concept and their interactions in practice over the funding period of three years (2022 to 2024). The two work packages in HiRSE_PS for one dealt with the operation of CSI groups, in particular also for young codes, and with consulting and networking. The goal of the preparatory study was the further refinement of the concept, which can then be rolled out to the entire Helmholtz Information, or, if desired, to the entire Helmholtz Association with high prospects of success and high efficiency.
The Joint Lab HiRSE follows on the preparatory study, continuing the incorporation of successful elements and extending it with the evaluatioon of the integration of additional CSI groups.
bwRSE4HPC
In order to implement a sustainable and professional approach to the development and management of energy-optimized research software, suitable support structures and services operated by highly specialized research software engineers are required. This is where the new state service bwRSE4HPC comes in.
Countrywide service bwGitLab
since 2024-07-01 - 2029-06-30
Based on the GitLab software, a state service for the administration, versioning and publication of software repositories for universities in Baden-Württemberg is being created as part of the IT alliance. GitLab also offers numerous possibilities for collaborative work and has extensive functionalities for software development and automation. The service enables or simplifies cross-location development projects between universities and with external partners, new possibilities in the field of research data management and can be used profitably in teaching. It also creates an alternative to cloud services such as GitHub and makes it easier to keep data from research and teaching in Baden-Württemberg.
