In addition, it is essential that scientists, researchers, and students are able to learn and adopt a new set of software-related skills and methodologies. Established researchers are already acquiring some of these skills, and in particular a specialized class of software developers is emerging in academic environments who are an integral and embedded part of successful research teams. WSSSPE provides a forum for discussing these challenges, including presenting both positions and experiences, as well as a forum for the community to assemble and act.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The WSSSPE1 workshop (<a href="http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(159, 159, 159);" class="">http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe1</a>) engaged the broad scientific community to identify challenges and best practices in areas relevant to sustainable scientific software.
