Training and continuing education in Research Software Engineering (RSE) are a crucial component for fostering sustainable and high-quality research software. FutuRSI sees it as one of its tasks to compile existing offerings in Germany and explore ways to broaden access and complement these offerings effectively.

During the TEACH V conference in Berlin (Talking about Education Across Communities in Helmholtz, September 29 - October 1, 2025, Berlin), FutuRSI organised a 30-minute workshop to discuss this topic with instructors from the Helmholtz Association.

Our panel at the GI Festival 2025, moderated by Florian Mannseicher, made one thing very clear: Germany is at a turning point in the development of its research software landscape.

Welcome to the sixth and last post in our series exploring the future of research software in Germany. In each installment, we present opinion statements on why a national research software institution could and should be created to strengthen Germany’s research ecosystem.

As a research and innovation hub, Germany must maintain its competitive edge by investing in high-quality research software and attracting the best talent in the field.
