[Air-L] Submit codes, pipelines, and workflows to CCP-AHC enhancing UK-based arts and humanities research; CCP-AHC Town Hall 2025 reminder

[BELL, EAMONN]

Dear colleagues,
Toward a new Collaborative Computational Project for Arts, Humanities, and Culture research (CCP-AHC) is looking for details of codes, pipelines, and workflows that support arts, humanities, and culture research across the UK: https://forms.office.com/e/EAyaK8cajv
Please circulate this message within your networks, with an emphasis on those that support the development, use, and maintenance of software with the potential to leverage HPC/advanced computing
CCP-AHC Expression of Interest for Research Software
We invite owners, maintainers, users, and other stakeholders in research codes, workflows, and pipelines that support arts, humanities, and culture (AH&C) research and innovation activities to make us aware of this software.
If you want to bring a piece of software to our attention, please complete this form (https://forms.office.com/e/EAyaK8cajv), which will remain open for the duration of the scoping project. This does not constitute a bid for support from CCP-AHC. For more details, please see the CCP-AHC website: https://www.ccpahc.ac.uk/activities/codes-eoi/.
This is not the only way we intend to identify relevant projects. We are also looking at the published literature, aggregators of workflows (e.g. SSH Open Marketplace<https://marketplace.sshopencloud.eu/>), and software outcomes reported to UKRI, which appear on the public Gateway to Research interface.
If there is a source we are missing, or an ongoing research effort in this direction that you know about - please let us know (eamonn.bell at durham.ac.uk<mailto:eamonn.bell at durham.ac.uk>), so that we can work together to reduce duplication of effort. Thanks to those of your on CCP-AHC-DISCUSS who have contributed to the form.
CCP-AHC Town Hall 2025
A reminder that the first CCP-AHC Town Hall will take place on 22 May 2025 in Durham (UK). Complete this expression of interest form<https://forms.office.com/e/YX2Wmw8RpP> (https://forms.office.com/e/YX2Wmw8RpP) if you are interested in attending the Town Hall event. Online attendance for part of the event will be facilitated. We expect to reach out to those of you who have expressed interest to confirm attendance in early April.
CCP-AHC Mailing Lists
Don't forget that there are two new JiscMail mailing lists for CCP-AHC that are available for open sign-up: CCP-AHC-ANNOUNCE<https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?SUBED1=CCP-AHC-ANNOUNCE&A=1> will advertise CCP-AHC project news, events, and other opportunities; CCP-AHC-DISCUSS<https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?SUBED1=CCP-AHC-DISCUSS&A=1> can be used by all list members to discuss CCP-AHC and related topics.
For any questions or comments about the project during the start-up phase, please email the Project Lead<mailto:eamonn.bell at durham.ac.uk>. We welcome your feedback.
Yours,
Eamonn Bell (Durham University), CCP-AHC Project Lead
Karina Rodriguez Echavarria (University of Brighton), Project co-Lead

What is CCP-AHC?
To learn more about CCP-AHC visit: https://www.ccpahc.ac.uk<https://www.ccpahc.ac.uk/?utm_source=jiscmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proj_announce>
CCP-AHC is the name for a research software community-building exercise, funded by UKRI and STFC for 24 months from January 2025, following a funding model that has been successfully used by many other scientific software communities<https://www.ccp.ac.uk/about-ccps/> over the past five decades.
The goal of CCP-AHC is to support the sustainable and efficient development of software, pipelines, and workflows used by arts, humanities, and culture researchers who make use of UK-based digital research infrastructure (DRI). This includes high-performance computing (HPC) and advanced computing infrastructures supported by UKRI, as well as those managed by UK-based HEIs and other research organisations eligible for UKRI funding<https://www.ukri.org/publications/organisation-eligibility/research-organisations-eligible-for-ukri-funding/>.
