+
+After six months of testing, HIFIS can finally open the Helmholtz Research Software Directory (RSD) for all Helmholtz members. If you have an account at a Helmholtz Institution, you can now login to the RSD via the Helmholtz AAI, and start adding your Research Software:

+
+### What does the RSD offer?
+
+The Helmholtz RSD is **tailored to Research Software Engineers and Researchers** that want to promote or discover research software. For RSEs,  we
+
+* offer an easy to use platform to present your software in an environment dedicated to research software
+* show where your software has already been mentioned in papers, talks or videos
+* relate your software to other software, projects or organisations
+* provide help to researchers to get your Software cited correctly
+* provide interested users a gateway to get started with your software
+* direct interested users to your code platform
+
+### Future plans
+
+The Helmholtz RSD is not yet finished and we just started our journey. We are constantly evaluating and further developing the platform. Please contact us via [support@hifis.net](mailto:{{ site.contact_mail }}) or open an issue in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/hifis-net/RSD-as-a-service/issues) if you have suggestions, critics or anything else you would like to tell us.
+
+### Cooperation
+
+The Helmholtz Research Software Directory is an adaption of the [Research Software Directory](https://research-software-directory.org/), and we are closely collaborating with the upstream maintainers, the [Netherlands eScience Center](https://www.esciencecenter.nl/).
