Back to the Fortran Future 4 (BTTFF4) will build on three previous satellite events, two at RSECon and one at SSI CW26. We bring together members of the national and international Fortran community – developers, software engineers, computational scientists and other stakeholders – to work together to 1) better understand the landscape of the community 2) share good practice and 3) plan activities to support the community. BTTFF4 will also formally launch FortranFuture, a three-year Network+ project funded by the EPSRC (UKRI4343), which will strengthen the Fortran national and international community, grow a complementary interdisciplinary research network, develop a roadmap for future Fortran-based science, and identify resources (e.g., partners, funding, tools) to support the implementation of the roadmap.
