+At the workshop _[Policies for Research Software][event-link]_ held on May 6, 2021,
+over 100 participants from Helmholtz centers showed great interest.
+The intended target group (primarily Policy makers, software development team
+leaders e.g. from data centers, infrastructure units, science management,
+libraries, law and technology transfer or scientific software communities)
+was represented in full breadth.
+This made it possible to initiate a productive exchange of ideas following
+Wolfgang Marquardt's welcoming address and the keynote speeches in four
+breakout sessions.
