CNRS Mathematics launches monthly column on open science
Open science is a collaborative practice that enables the dissemination of the results, methods and products of scientific research. In April 2024, Insmi is launching a monthly column dedicated to the latest mathematics-related open science news. To be found in the Insmi newsletter and on insmi.cnrs.fr
Open science encompasses many different fields, such as open access, open data, open reproductive research and many others. These fields are embodied in a variety of practices and solutions, all part of this trend: free online consultation of scientific periodicals, scientific data management policies or the creation of bibliometric indicators to evaluate research.
The scale of this movement has become considerable in recent years, with the need for traceability of results and the encouragement of interdisciplinarity between scientists. What are the challenges of open science for current and future research? What are the impacts and needs of mathematicians in this area?

Action Nationale de Formation « Logiciel Libre »
CNRS Mathematics and CNRS Humanities & Social Sciences (formerly InSHS) are joining forces to offer a national training event (ANF) dedicated to open source software, to be held from July 1 to 3, 2024 in Fréjus, France.
The world of research has always been at the heart of free software development. The open science movement reinforces the need to share research's digital commons, i.e. its source codes, in order to meet scientific integrity requirements. Like all scientific disciplines, mathematics and the humanities and social sciences are particularly concerned by this software creation activity.
The objectives of these days are as follows:
-
discover the national and international context of open science and the problems of software in this context;
-
understand the regulatory and legal framework;
-
learn about the economic models of open source software;
-
address issues of best practice to promote reusability, reproducibility and community development;
-
appreciate the elements of free software governance.
All members (researchers, teacher-researchers, engineers, doctoral students) of mathematics and human and social sciences laboratories are welcome to attend.
