Open Science Week 2024: Université Paris-Saclay is committed to open science!
Every year, Université Paris-Saclay organises its annual Open Science Month, an international event which aims to promote access to research results.
This year, the event has become the Open Science Week and will take place mainly online from 4 to 8 November 2024. It will be the occasion to discuss best practices and disciplinary challenges in human and social sciences, geoscience/environment, life sciences, health…

Programme
Monday 4 November (Social and human sciences)
10-11am, Nathalie Delame, the Agrilogue Project: a catalogue of data on agriculture, food and the environment (in French).
To help the economists at INRAE access the most frequently used data in their work, the Agrilogue tool was made available online. This presentation will look at the tool’s current content and ongoing and upcoming developments.
11:30am – 12:30pm Sébastien Oliveau and Margaux NGUYEN NGOC MINH, the Opening up of data in social and human sciences: a well-organised ecosystem to support researchers (in French).
2-3pm, Célian Godefroid, Scientific publications and research data in social and human sciences, legal aspects (in French)
This webinar will present what the law allows researchers to do in terms of scientific publications and research data management, with a focus on the legal framework surrounding open science, its development, implementation and relevance for social and human sciences.
Tuesday 5 November (Science and technology
10-11am, Sylvain Chevallier, Open science tools for reproducibility (English)
11:30am-12:30pm, Julien Chiquet, Projet revue Computo
2-3pm, F. Massimo, Smilei: « ecosystem and perspectives of a collaborative, multi-purpose Particle in Cell code » (English)
Smilei is a collaborative, open-source Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation code, recognized in plasma physics for its diverse range of applications, including high intensity laser-matter interaction, astrophysics, fusion and plasma acceleration, as well as for its user-friendly interface.
The talk will trace the history of the code, describing its main developments by a team of experts in laser-plasma interaction and high-performance computing. It will highlight the evolution of its thriving community, which has gradually expanded to the international level, allowing the code to become a platform for physics research, advancements in parallel computing techniques, and educational programs in plasma physics at universities.
The talk will also address examples of challenges underlying the development of an open-source, high-performance, user-oriented simulation code and discuss the future perspectives of Smilei in its ecosystem.
4-5pm J. Peloton, FINK free software : “Exploring the universe together: Open science and its role in astronomy research (in French)
Wednesday 6 November (Multidisciplinary)
10-11:30am, roundtable discussion hosted by Arnaud Boutin, on site (available remotely via videoconferencing): A multidisciplinary approach to Open Science in sports science and human movement in French
Location: Salle des actes, Building 335, Faculty of Sports Science – Université Paris-Saclay, Rue Pierre de Coubertin, 91440, Bures-sur-Yvette.
This roundtable will bring together academics from various scientific fields (neuroscience, management, social science…) to discuss the challenges and issues linked to open science in sport science and human movement research.
The speakers:
Claire Thomas-Junius (Professor, Université d’Evry)
Matthieu Guemann (Lecturer, Université d’Orléans)
Bastien Berret (Professor, Université Paris-Saclay)
Christophe Granger (Lecturer, Université Paris-Saclay)
Antoine Feuillet (Lecturer, Université Paris-Saclay)
Arnaud Boutin (Lecturer, Université Paris-Saclay) – host
2-3pm, Liliana Ibanescu, the DataSusFood projectin French
3:30-4:30pm, Thomas Guillemaud, Presentation of Peer Community in (PCI) (in French)
Thursday 7 November (Geoscience/Environment, Life Sciences
9:30-10:30am, Zelia Dionnet, the SSHADE project (Solid Spectroscopy Hosting Architecture of Databases and Expertise) (English)
In this presentation, I will introduce SSHADE, a database infrastructure dedicated to solid state spectroscopy for materials of astrophysical interest. SSHADE provides a vast collection of spectral data (from gamma rays to radio waves) on materials such as ices, minerals, rocks, organic compounds, and even liquids. These samples come from laboratory syntheses, natural terrestrial analogues, or extraterrestrial sources, including meteorites and lunar soils.
11am-12pm, Frederic Schmidt, the PDSSP project (in French)
The Planetary Surface Data and Services Unit (PDSSP) is a new organisation between the CNRS (National Institute of Sciences of the Universe - INSU) and the CNES. It aims to bring together and coordinate the activities of the National Observation Services and develop new services in the field of planetary surfaces. It hopes to make data from space and ground-based missions available and offer calculation services using this data. It is part of two major families of international standards: the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) in the field of geosciences, and the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) in the field of astronomy.
2-3pm, Nicolas Darcel, Transformative Food Sciences: Knowledge Co-construction to improve the quality of food for children – the SPÉCIALE project, (in French)
Friday 8 November (Biology, Health, Medicine)
10h -11h, Nicolas Boulant, the Iseult project and data sharing in health
Edouard Duchesnay, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroimaging applied to psychiatry: the challenge of data access (in French)
NeuroSpin at CEA Saclay works to explore healthy and pathological brains. This presentation will look at two research areas, covering mass phenotyping, multi-centric, with standardised acquisitions, and cutting-edge, less widespread phenotyping, made possible by the unique Iseult MRI.
11h30-13h online roundtable discussion (in French): Assessing Open Science, hosted by Patrick Couvreur
List of speakers: Nicolas Gigant, Sofia Cussotto, etc. (more information to come)
The following questions will be explored:
How can we carry out objective and qualitative assessments in the context of open science?
Should bibliometric data be totally excluded when assessing researchers and teams?
Should researchers be in control of the journal they are published in? Academic freedom?
How can we choose the right journal to publish in?
Should researchers retain their copyright? Or is copyright attributed to the institution they are affiliated to?
How can we make assessment criteria uniform internationally?
In addition to publications, should we not take other criteria into account? If so, which criteria?
2-3pm, Grégoire Rey, France Cohortes, facilitating the production and sharing of data in epidemiology (in French) (Français)
France Cohortes is a research initiative dedicated to large epidemiological surveys. It aims to facilitate the production, management and sharing of data, in accordance with regulations, data protection and FAIR principles.
3:30-4:30pm, Céline HERNANDEZ, FAIR_bioinfo: applying FAIR principles to a bioinformatics project (in French) (Français)
The FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) were initially established as part of the drive to open up research data. But these principles can also be adapted to a certain extent to bioinformatics/biostatistics project development and/or analysis. Tools for version tracking, reproducibility assistance and containerisation are of great help. With this in mind, the FAIR_bioinfo training course has been set up nationally by the French Bioinformatics Institute (IFB) in partnership with the Institute for the Integrative Biology of the Cell, to raise awareness about these tools and the associated best practices.
