DESCRIPTION:The Netherlands eScience Center is the Dutch national expertis
 e center for research software. We work with researchers from across the N
 etherlands and beyond\, in all fields of research on creating and using re
 search software\, as well as building capacity through teaching\, fellowsh
 ips\, and other community efforts.\n\nWe are passionate about making softw
 are sustainable (as in durable) so that it can be used by as many research
 ers as possible. To facilitate this we created the Research Software Direc
 tory (https://research-software-directory.org/)\, a service to show the im
 pact of research software.\n\nA re-occurring theme in our projects is that
  of sustainability (as in climate change). Over the years we have contribu
 ted to a number of projects and software related to sustainability\, inclu
 ding ESMValtool (https://esmvaltool.org/)\, software supporting the evalua
 tion of Earth system models\, and used in the latest IPCC report.\n\nIn my
  presentation I will explain the structure of the eScience Center and how 
 it came to be\, introduce the research software directory\, and provide so
 me examples of projects in the area of sustainability we contribute to.\n\
 nNiels Drost is a Research Software Engineer from the Netherlands. He is c
 urrently the Programme Manager for Environment and Sustainability at the N
 etherlands eScience Center. He has a background in Computer Science in the
  area of High Performance Computing\, helped establish the Dutch chapter o
 f the RSE community (NL-RSE\, https://nl-rse.org/)\, and has worked on man
 y different research projects over the years\, mostly in the fields of Cli
 mate Science and Hydrology.\n\nHybrid Zoom details will be emailed to the 
 RSE mailing list\; if you are not on the list\, please contact the organis
