About the program

This is the second edition of the FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS) Program. Building on the success of our inaugural program, we're excited to offer an enhanced 12-week initiative aimed at significantly boosting your skills in research software development and data management. This program represents a collaborative effort among the Digital Competence Centre (DCC), TU Delft Library Research Data and Software Services (RDS), and the ICT innovation team, tailored specifically for researchers, including PhD students and postdocs.

You can find the first edition of the program here.

About the organizers

The FAIR4RS Program 2024 is orchestrated by a team of dedicated colleagues committed to enhancing research quality through improved software and data management practices. Our organizers include Paula Martinez Lavanchy, Carlos Utrilla, Raúl Ortiz, Meta Keijzer, and Jose Carlos Urra, representing a collaborative effort across various departments.

The motivation behind the FAIR4RS Program stems from a growing recognition of the importance of reproducibility in science and the pivotal role that software and data play in achieving this goal. In an era where scientific discovery is increasingly data-driven, the ability to write better, more reliable code has never been more critical. This program is designed to address the evolving needs of PhDs, postdocs, and researchers, empowering them to elevate their research through the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR).
