Research software is an essential output in different research domains and needs to be reproducible and extendable throughout future research.

Achieving this requires shared principles and know-how among researchers and research institutes. The European Software Sustainability Infrastructure (EuSSI) consortium aims towards identifying key elements and providing common grounds to achieve such a goal in European level.

Partners in the EuSSI network are all involved - in one way or another - in research software and share a common interest in improving the general quality of research software. This includes various aspects such as the availability of software in the future and the ability to reuse software beyond the project for which it was created.
