The countdown is on as the Accessibility Fellow applications are due Thursday and the Call for Presentations are due Sunday the 22nd!
The RSAA25 Accessibility Fellowship aims to encourage individuals with disabilities from within our community or adjacent communities to join RSAA25.
It’s a great opportunity to present your work in research software, remotely and at low cost, all in an Asian friendly timezone.

Soon the #OR2025 in #Chicago begins. I am very much looking forward to all the presentations, workshops and fruitful exchanges, especially #researchdata and #researchsoftware #GoetheTravels #Forschungsdaten #unifrankfurt
If you are interested in presenting your work at RSAA25 in 17–19 September, remember we’ve extended the Call for Presentations to 22 June and the Accessibility Fellow applications close Thursday the 19th of June.
It’s a great opportunity to present your work in research software, remotely and at low cost, all in an Asian/Australian-friendly timezone.
The conference runs entirely online, across three half-days in the afternoons (Melbourne time). There’ll be talks, workshops, and a dedicated community-focused third day.
The maximum registration fee is $30 AUD, but lots of free tickets will be available to keep things accessible. Would love to see you there or feel free to pass it on to others who might be interested!
The RSAA25 Accessibility Fellowship aims to encourage individuals with disabilities - such as those who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, have low vision, or have other disabilities - from within our community or adjacent communities to join RSAA25. Their involvement will help ensure we are held accountable for the accessibility of this online event.

🗞️ Weekend reads:
There’s a noticeable shift in scholarly #publishing: As researchers produce valuable #software and datasets, appropriate publication is becoming increasingly important to make them citable and accessible in the long-term. The latest NFDIxCS blog post provides a step-by-step guide for publishing #researchsoftware as supplementary material associated with scholarly articles, using improved submission systems offered by Schloss Dagstuhl.

Research software is increasingly recognised as a core research output, alongside publications and datasets.
Across OECD countries, targeted reforms are supporting its development, openness, and long-term sustainability. As AI-driven research grows, a robust research software ecosystem — supported by skilled individuals, strong communities, and reliable infrastructure — is more important than ever.
Following last year’s pledge by OECD members and partner countries to advance open science through improved data management and stewardship, the OECD’s Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy (CSTP) is launching a 2025–26 project to assess progress and policy gaps in access to research software.
A key milestone will be the expert workshop:
Access to Research Software: Opportunities and Challenges
taking place on 8 September 2025 at the OECD headquarters in Paris.
Discussions will focus on governance, skills, infrastructure, sustainability, and public–private collaboration.

Dr Minh Bui, co-developer of the globally-used phylogenetics software IQ-TREE2 and winner of the inaugural ARDC Eureka Prize for Excellence in Research Software, will be delivering the #RSAA25 keynote!
Together with Professor Robert Lanfear (Australian National University), Dr Bui developed IQ-TREE2 – an open-source tool turning DNA data into evolutionary insights. It has been used to study everything from the origins of life to the spread of COVID-19.
