The scientific communities of nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics are continuing to advance and are facing unprecedented software challenges due to growing data volumes, complex computing needs, and environmental considerations. As new experiments emerge, software and computing needs must be recognised and integrated early in design phases. This document synthesises insights from ECFA, NuPECC and APPEC, representing particle physics, nuclear physics, and astroparticle physics, and presents collaborative strategies for improving software, computing frameworks, infrastructure, and career development within these fields.
