SORSE (Series of Online Research Software Events)
Missing those RSE Conferences this year?
The international RSE community have launched SORSE (a Series of Online Research Software Events) today. Our international answer to the COVID-19-induced cancellation of many national RSE conferences. Get involved in this new initiative created by a truly international committee!
To keep us all connected, collaborating and learning until the 2021 RSE Conferences, a wonderful group of volunteers has created this new series that aims to deliver a weekly event, either a talk, a workshop, a panel, a poster session, a software demo etc from the community. This is an open call to all RSEs and anyone involved with research software, worldwide, to submit an abstract - https://sorse.github.io/programme/call-for-contributions/
The call will be open continuously with rolling deadlines. The first deadline is soon (12th July) and then again on the 31st July, followed by the end of each month after that. Apply at any time and you'll be included in the next review.
Have an idea and want to collaborate on it? - Go to the Topic Bazaar - https://sorse.github.io/programme/bazaar/ - The topic bazaar is a place to encourage and create collaborations that can then be presented in a variety of formats within the series.
Want to have a say on the conference content? Go to the Wishlist - https://sorse.github.io/programme/wishlist/ and tell us what events and guest speakers you'd like to see.

HPC access for COVID-19 research via the COVID-19 HPC Consortium
Fighting COVID-19 will require extensive research in areas like bioinformatics, epidemiology, and molecular modelling to understand the threat we're facing and form strategies to address it. This work demands a massive amount of computational capacity. The COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium (https://covid19-hpc-consortium.org/) helps aggregate computing capabilities from the world's most powerful and advanced computers (including UK resources such as ARCHER) to help COVID-19 researchers execute complex computational research programs to help fight the virus.
Researchers are invited to submit COVID-19 related research proposals to the consortium via this online portal (https://covid19-hpc-consortium.org/submit-proposal), which will then be reviewed for matching with computing resources from one of the partner institutions. An expert panel comprised of top scientists and computing researchers will work with proposers to assess the public health benefit of the work, with emphasis on projects that can ensure rapid results. The call works with a rolling submission process rather than a specific deadline to allow researchers to submit their proposals whenever they are ready.
