The countdown is on as the Accessibility Fellow applications are due Thursday and the Call for Presentations are due Sunday the 22nd!
The RSAA25 Accessibility Fellowship aims to encourage individuals with disabilities from within our community or adjacent communities to join RSAA25.
It’s a great opportunity to present your work in research software, remotely and at low cost, all in an Asian friendly timezone.
In May we kicked off CodeRefinery phase 4! Now a 9-partner consortium under NeiC, we’re set for 3+ more years of teaching #FAIR research software practices to researchers all around the globe via workshops, recordings and open lesson materials.
Excited for what’s ahead!
#OpenScience #RSEng
If you are interested in presenting your work at RSAA25 in 17–19 September, remember we’ve extended the Call for Presentations to 22 June and the Accessibility Fellow applications close Thursday the 19th of June.
It’s a great opportunity to present your work in research software, remotely and at low cost, all in an Asian/Australian-friendly timezone.
The conference runs entirely online, across three half-days in the afternoons (Melbourne time). There’ll be talks, workshops, and a dedicated community-focused third day.
The maximum registration fee is $30 AUD, but lots of free tickets will be available to keep things accessible. Would love to see you there or feel free to pass it on to others who might be interested!
The RSAA25 Accessibility Fellowship aims to encourage individuals with disabilities - such as those who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, have low vision, or have other disabilities - from within our community or adjacent communities to join RSAA25. Their involvement will help ensure we are held accountable for the accessibility of this online event.
For centuries, we had public infrastructure for texts (called "libraries").
Recently, this has been extended to data (called "repositories").
We need to extend that to some software, developed and maintained as a free public good.
Why? Because we need it for a functioning society.
Smart societies would sustainably fund some open source software as critical infrastructure.
For example, research grants could set aside 2 % of their budget to support the open-source software they rely on.
(@sovtechfund is a shining example )

Their support helps us grow a vibrant, connected research software community across Asia and Australia and we can’t wait to share what’s in store.
Dr Minh Bui, co-developer of the globally-used phylogenetics software IQ-TREE2 and winner of the inaugural ARDC Eureka Prize for Excellence in Research Software, will be delivering the #RSAA25 keynote!
Together with Professor Robert Lanfear (Australian National University), Dr Bui developed IQ-TREE2 – an open-source tool turning DNA data into evolutionary insights. It has been used to study everything from the origins of life to the spread of COVID-19.
We're thrilled to welcome the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator National Research Infrastructure (ACCESS-NRI) as a Gold Partner for the Research Software Asia Australia Conference (RSAA25), taking place online from 17–19 September 2025!
