SUMMARY:MS5G - Building Expertise for Sustainable Scientific Software in H
 igh-Performance Computing: Bridging Training Gaps in the Research Communit
 y
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this minisymposium is to explore how training initi
 atives in sustainable open-source scientific software development foster c
 ollaboration among researchers and developers. Scientific software develop
 ment requires motivated, multi-talented individuals capable of balancing t
 echnical excellence with scientific rigor. However, the absence of standar
 d curricula for scientists developing software, undefined career paths, an
 d scarce resources for onboarding and maintaining sustainable software mak
 e recruiting and nurturing new talent particularly challenging. The scope 
 and complexity of software skills required are growing rapidly, with softw
 are increasingly interdependent on evolving hardware. Traditional academic
  education often fails to adequately equip researchers for developing sust
 ainable, efficient scientific software. In response, multiple initiatives 
 have emerged over recent years to bridge this gap and provide advanced tra
 ining to researchers from varied career stages and disciplines. We have in
 vited representatives from some of these initiatives to talk about the top
 ic from their perspective and discuss how we can foster collaborations bet
 ween the training, researcher and developer communities. We welcome resear
 chers of all scientific domains, and representatives of all training and s
 cientific software developer communities to join us.\n\nHPC Training Stand
 ardization and Certification\n\nStandardization is one cornerstone in Trai
 ning unification across Europe, and the HPC Certification Forum is pursuin
