Initiate a Project
We provide software development at many different scales, from a single hour of consultation to projects with a timeframe of months or years. We can help you with many different problems - whether it’s developing your research software, optimizing code for high-performance computing, implementing data science and machine learning solutions, or advancing your digital structural biology projects. Let’s explore how we can help you!

Small scale projects
Small scale projects are free of charge and involve about a week of development work. This can either be a small development task, or support and feedback concerning your existing software on a specific topic (such as performance, scalability, accuracy, portability, reproducibility, sustainability, fixing bugs, packaging, dependencies, build systems, automated testing, etc).
Open Call projects
Larger development projects involving a few months of development work are supported by our annual open call, which is also free of charge for successful applications. The call is open for applications in June each year, and with a simple one page application process you can request several months of SSC developer time to contribute to your project.

We offer all scientific groups in Baden-Württemberg support for growing their research software projects towards use of the high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure in BW. Especially the efficient use of the vast compute infrastructure landscape in Baden-Württemberg is often challenging for university groups. In collaboration with the KIT, we offer help for improving existing code in regards to performance, efficiency and maintainability, or even developing new software for use on the HPC infrastructure.The SSC provides very important knowledge in state-of-the-art scientific software development to my 3DGeo research group. The SSC enables us to develop professional, open scientific software and to publish cutting-edge research results as powerful tools. Our collaboration is very effective, with a high level of knowledge sharing.
