The best frontend code is the code your collaborators never have to touch.

With the BYOB (Bring Your Own Backend) approach you can let scientists run their own Python backend simply with a link.

On 16 and 17 February, the #JASP team organised a #hackathon where 27 participants from 6 countries learned how to contribute to their own modules to the JASP ecosystem!

Special thanks to @EJWagenmakers@mastodon.social, @pabrod@mastodon.social, Stefan Verhoeven & Zowi Mens for making the event a success!

These are the happy faces of satisfied participants who have completed the Reproducible Research Through Reusable Code Workshop! Next to training researchers, we also had a few software trainers joining from different institutes across NL, who are considering to start offering this training locally. If you would like to join our workshop as an observer or if we can help you implement any of our trainings, please don't hesitate to reach out to training@esciencecenter.nl!

We are thrilled to receive this €5.4M grant from Open Science NL! 🎉

Research *needs* research software. This funding allows us to give research software the attention it deserves. With this grant, we will be able to continue our Research Software Sustainability Calls and support the continuation of our successful Fellowship Programme. We'll be able to support our mission to empower researchers through innovative software.
