Activities

Our current and forthcoming activities include:

A Survey to identify important research software, data and services, and to identify unfilled requirements. This survey ran during autumn 2010 and spring 2011: read more about it here.
A Development Service to make research software available as robust and usable software.
A Software Repository as a one-stop shop for software of interest to audio and music researchers and a place for researchers to store and coordinate their own software development work. Following early information-gathering exercises, our Code Repository and Project service launched in December 2010 and we encourage researchers across the UK to make use of it.
A Dataset Repository to hold and maintain key experimental datasets and metadata.
Advice and Training in the use of available software, and best practice in developing sustainable software. We are working on a number of resources to be made available through this site.
Workshops and visits about research software, including the UK Autumn School 2010. Video footage of much of this school is also available.
