The Software Sustainability Institute

the software sustainability institute

About the Software Sustainability Institute Better software better research The Software Sustainability Institute motto. Cultivating research software to support world-class research Software is fundamental to research: 7 out of 10 researchers report their work would be impossible without it. From short, thrown-together temporary scripts to solving a specific problem, through an abundance of complex spreadsheets analysing collected data, to the hundreds of software engineers and millions of lines of code behind international efforts such as the Large Hadron Collider and the Square Kilometre Array, there are few areas of research where software does not have a fundamental role. Since 2010, the Software Sustainability Institute has facilitated the advancement of software in research by cultivating better, more sustainable, research software to enable world-class research (“Better software, better research”). In 2018, we were awarded funding from all seven research councils. Our mission is to become the world-leading hub for research software practice. The Institute is based at the Universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton, and draws on a team of experts with a breadth of experience in software development, training, project and programme management, research facilitation, publicity and community engagement. The importance of sustainability Sustainability means that the software you use today will be available - and continue to be improved and supported - in the future. Expert knowledge Securing a future for research software requires more than just quality code, which is why, over the years, we have striven to help researchers build and use better software through better practices, and advocate for culture change within their communities and institutions. Building on our experience and expert understanding of the state of research software in the UK, our work focuses around four objectives: nurturing the growth of communities of practice to foster the sharing of expertise across the entire research community, conducting research to provide insight into the use of software in research, continuing enabling widespread adoption of research software practices, and offering training and guidance to help build a capable researcher community and increase the recognition of software in research.

The Bulwell Academy

I am delighted to welcome you to The Bulwell Academy. I am proud to have been given the opportunity of leading this school into its next era of education in Nottingham. We are committed to making The Bulwell Academy the academy of choice, where all students and staff feel proud and privileged to attend. Our core values for our children are aspire, work hard, be kind. We will encourage and remind students regarding these values at every opportunity. We are developing a community in which young people understand the importance of academic achievement alongside their own personal development and being accountable for their own actions and decisions as they contribute to the wider community in many positive ways. It is our vision to ensure every student develops a strong sense of optimism, confidence, and self-belief. We want to ensure all students believe in themselves, have the confidence to aim high, excel in everything they do, and go on to lead happy and successful lives. A calm and orderly environment in school creates the conditions for children to thrive and do well academically and personally. We make no apology for having the highest of standards for everything that we stand for: the highest standards of education, the highest standards of pastoral support. And that work is well underway. Our academic outcomes in 2022 firmly placed The Bulwell Academy as the most improved school in Nottingham. We are proud to be part of the Creative Education Trust, and to work collaboratively with our colleagues in other schools, sharing best practice to further enhance the local offer. This is one of the benefits of being part of such an excellent, forward-thinking Trust. This collaboration will continue to bring many benefits to Bulwell children in the form of providing an extended ‘education with character’, enhancing opportunities for competition, offering wider experiences and broadening horizons.

It is restoring natural processes to our countryside, reviving degraded habitats, reintroducing depleted or missing species and allowing our ecosystems to become naturally self-regulating again. Nature is an intricate web of interactions that enrich our lives, help nourish the natural environment and give our planet a greater capacity to cope with human impact. We encourage our learners to connect with nature by growing wild plants and making space for wildlife in their gardens and green spaces.

Behavioural Education

London

Behavioural Educational Services was established in 2000, and is now celebrating 13 years of home & school programme success, during which we have worked in partnership with families, local authorities, educational professionals, and national children's charities For the past 13 years, BES has provided CABAS® based early intensive interventions designed to increase the skills and abilities of children and young adults with special needs through the systematic use of applied behavioural analysis (ABA). ABA has a proven record of success with individuals with a diagnosis of autism and ADHD, as well as developmental, communication, and behavioural disorders. Early intensive intervention provides children with special needs the greatest possible chance at future mainstreaming, while also helping them achieve their highest intellectual, social and emotional potential. BES designs and supervises ABA home and school programmes that are based on theories of development and learning that focuses on variables that are observable, while also proposing a flexible research methodology that can benefit all children. Behaviour analysis benefits equally from its assessment methodologies, which emphasise factors that maintain or influence a child’s behaviour, as it does from its intervention procedures, which focus on the quality of implementation, effectiveness and social validity of the programme. In addition to our ABA work, BES are providers of Fast ForWord®, a learning acceleration programme based on over 30 years of neuroscience research, that helps develop the cognitive skills required to enhance learning. Strengthening these skills can result in a wide range of improved critical language and reading skills such as phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, decoding, working memory, syntax, grammar, and other skills necessary to learn how to read or to become a better reader. Fast ForWord® includes several training programmes that are individually adaptive and interactive computerised language-learning programmes that incorporate the latest neurological research in brain plasticity. These intensive, computerised programmes are designed to help leaners increase the rate at which their brains can process auditory information, which then enhances abilities in communication, reading, writing, and spelling.

Purified Air Ltd

purified air ltd

Romford

Purified Air is a British manufacturer and has been a market leader in commercial air filtration since 1984. We specialise in commercial kitchen odour control & filtration and indoor air quality. As an early pioneer in the control of kitchen pollution, we developed commercially viable systems in the late 1980s. We work with major brand leaders across the fast and casual dining sectors and draw on decades of experience to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in public spaces such as offices, shopping centres and airports. We are committed to continuous product development, which currently focuses on improving air quality in our public spaces and creating healthier environments. Purified Air is a commercial air filtration company that specialises in indoor air control and odour control and was founded in 1984. As our commercial kitchen extraction company grew rapidly in the ‘80s, so did our in-house service team. We soon began working with international brands like McDonalds – a long-term relationship that remains today – and expanded globally when our first major distributor in the Middle East was established. We’ve been commissioned to supply air filtration systems for kitchen extraction and indoor air control for high profile clients – from Pizza Express to Premier Inn, and Harrods to the Houses of Parliament. Over the years, our reputation for in-depth expertise in air filtration and IAQ grew. We have been called upon by government representatives to advise on official guidance for the control of cooking emissions. With long-standing senior leaders and a robust team of over 80 employees, Purified Air is now a major distributor on every continent and across 40 countries. Always at the forefront of new technologies and innovations in the commercial air filtration industry, we’re actively involved in the design of every project. Today we’re helping organisations combat the spread of COVID-19 by designing virus irradiation units to combat airborne coronavirus in occupied spaces.
