Software plays a crucial role in academic research, not only as a tool for data analysis but also as a research outcome or result, or even the object of research itself. FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research software can increase the transparency, reproducibility, and reusability of research. For this to happen, software needs to be well-described (by metadata), inspectable, documented and appropriately structured so that it can be executed, replicated, built upon, combined, reinterpreted, reimplemented, and/or used in different settings. The FAIR4RS Principles aim to guide software creators and owners on how to make their software FAIR. FAIR-IMPACT offered two support actions designed to enhance the FAIRness and impact of research software: Assessing and improving existing research software using a new extension of F-UJI which implements some of the metrics for automated FAIR research software assessment. Implementing the Research Software MetaData (RSMD) guidelines for better archiving, referencing, describing, and citing research software artefacts. This FAIR Implementation Story outlines the specific aims and actions of Utrecht University in relation to their participation in the Implementing the Research Software MetaData (RSMD) Guidelines - Path 2 - OC-RSMD-07. "To successfully implement Research Software Metadata (RSMD) guidelines, ensure a clear understanding of the required metadata, engage developers early, and offer training. Automate metadata collection where possible, and use consistent documentation practices to maintain accuracy. Implement iteratively, gather feedback, and align with community standards for interoperability. Collaborate with external communities to stay current with best practices and emerging standards. These steps will enhance the discoverability, reproducibility, and sustainability of research software."
