HELMHOLTZ Software Award

The Helmholtz Software Award emphasises the often underestimated contributions of software developers in the association.

The importance of scientific software development has so far not been sufficiently recognized in the research community. The Helmholtz Software Award aims to promote the development of professional and high-quality research software and to make the dedication of developers in the association visible.

The award focuses on the sustainable development and application of research software as well as cooperation between software developers. At the same time, the award is intended to help make research software usable for other areas of application.

The Helmholtz Software Award is a cooperation between HIDA, HIFIS, the Hirse_PS project and the Helmholtz Open Science Office.
