Phil Bradbury, Research Software Engineer, and Adrian Harwood, Head of Research Software Engineering, introduce COMPASS. a community supporting digital research technical leaders to share operational best practice across institutions.

Collaborating with groups internationally can be challenging due to time zones and distances. Discover how our team used agile methods to successfully collaborate with the Center for Open Science (USA), why it worked and learn some techniques for using Agile in your own projects.

Could your research benefit from the power of GPUs? If so we have some good news! GPU resources on the N8 CIR Bede system continue to be available to University researchers after renewed funding.

Several Research IT and ITS team members recently attended the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, one of the world's leading events for high-performance computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, and advanced computing technologies.

If you are a Mathematica user at the University, then look out for Mathematica Single Sign-On (SSO) which is now live! This means that you are able to use your university credentials instead of separate Wolfram details.

Meet Ben Parkes from the Department of Civil Engineering and Management, one of the leads of the Green Compute for Research @UoM group. He explains how he got involved in the group and what the group hopes to achieve.

Head of Research Software Engineering (RSE) Adrian Harwood shares his thoughts on the shape of RSE services in the age of vibe coding.

An upgrade of the Dalton Nuclear Simulator by the Research Software Engineering team brought new life to a legacy educational platform used to explore nuclear reactor operations through interactive gameplay. Discover how our team strengthened a valuable tool for teaching, research, and scientific engagement.

The statistical software Stata (version 19.5) is now available to students and staff in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health (FBMH). Find out how to get access!

Members of our Platforms Team recently headed to Durham HPC Days 2026 for a programme covering everything from green computing and EDI to national compute strategy, AI training and interactive HPC. Discover what insights they brought back.

Discover how the High Energy Physics group, with Research IT help, have been addressing recent critical Linux security vulnerabilities affecting the ‘grid’ compute systems in particular.

Our Research Software Engineers (RSEs) worked with Dr Réka Solymosi from the School of Social Sciences to build a mobile app that helps women record where, when and why they felt unsafe during their runs – making a complex data gathering requirement possible in the form of a practical, usable product.
