5 Years Anniversary
About
Held on November 30th 2021 at the UNESCO headquarters and at the Inria research center.
Software is all around us: it powers our industry, fuels innovation, supports scientific research and lies at the heart of our societies.
The Software Heritage project, launched in 2016 by Inria (France), aims at collecting, preserving, and making readily available the source code of all software ever written, building an essential infrastructure at the service of cultural heritage, digital development, science, industry, and society as a whole.
