Our ambition
Start locally.
Connect across
Europe.
Share worldwide.
Build maintenance capacity in the Netherlands, connect expertise across Europe, and keep shared tools accessible everywhere.
Proposed pathway — partnerships are still to be developed.
Start with a Dutch pilot, alongside maintainers and research software engineers.
A foundation for
the tools science shares.

Research depends
on shared software.
Preserving code is essential. Keeping it usable takes ongoing work.
Our proposal brings recurring maintenance and scientific review together. It would complement archives, research software teams and the communities already improving software quality.
The white paper examines re-execution studies, Dutch and European funding programmes, and the practical limits of AI-assisted maintenance. Each finding includes its source and scope.
