The Research Software workshop, was a co-located event with the RDA plenary. Organized by the FAIR-IMPACT European project, with the contribution of the FAIRCORE4EOSC European project. The workshop goals were: Identifying what we have - what is the current landscape of guidelines and metrics for Research Software; Discussing what we need - what are the needs that can be provided by infrastructures and research support staff; Planning how we create adapted guidelines and metrics to the current reality and how we improve the scholarly ecosystem. During the workshop we received valuable feedback which will impact the expected deliverables by the two European projects: FAIR-IMPACT: D4.4 - Guidelines for recommended metadata standard for research software within EOSC FAIR-IMPACT: D5.2 - Metrics for automated FAIR software assessment in a disciplinary context We strive that this process will be as transparent as possible and will yield a result which will be useful for the community and for the service providers that handle research software or act in the scholarly ecosystem, this is why the full planning of the workshop is now made available on Zenodo. We invited the participants to prepare for the session by reviewing the following publications: the SIRS report recommendations, the FAIR4RS principles the CodeMeta initiative vocabulary The authors of this repository are the organizing committee of the workshop and the contributors in this repository are the participants of the workshop onsite and online.
