Five UMC RSM focus areas: (1) distill guidelines from decentral expertise, (2) standardize Software Management Plans (SMPs), (3) develop intermediate-level training, (4) define research software-related job profiles, and (5) connect to national and international networks.

We discussed Research Software Management (RSM) in the context of Dutch UMCs, identifying shared challenges, opportunities for collaboration, and how we could connect with the broader landscape of organizations, communities, and networks.
