Université Paris-Saclay, in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR) will host the second edition of French National Research Data Conference (ANDOR, in French; please visit “https://andor2024.sciencesconf.org/” to know more about the previous edition) from 1-2 December 2025. 

This event, organized every year, brings together several actors (local, national) in the field of research data (along with other possible scientific outputs) management. Moreover, this is also an occasion to distribute open science awards (awarded for PhD thesis, research data and open-source software) to the laureates who are actively doing and promoting open science in France. As such, EUGLOH Research Data Days (3-4 Dec 2025) could serve as a very good continuity to highlight the importance of free and open research data at European level. 

In addition to the national ANDOR event, we propose a 2-day satellite event from 3-4 December (named “EUGLOH Research Data Days”) with the following points in mind:  

• Connection with WP3 and WP6 of EUGLOH, co-organized jointly by Université Paris-Saclay and UiT – The Arctic University of Norway 
• Highlights the importance of “open and free data and transparency of scientific results” in the EUGLOH (as well as in the international context) •On-site event, with mobility opportunities for Masters/PhD candidates/early-stage researchers 
• The aim of this event is to raise the profile of open data/open science policy within the EUGLOH alliance, while highlighting our bilateral collaboration with the colleagues from UiT regarding an online course on Research Data Management (or “Data Stewardship”).

This event is particularly aimed to give EUGLOH Masters/PhD candidates an opportunity to come to France:  

1. Firstly, to have a cross-domain networking for them within the alliance (for example, by visiting the research labs scheduled for Wednesday the 3rd, Dec 2025)

2. Secondly, they will have a possibility to do presentations of their work and thesis and talk about data sharing issues and challenges. And in this occasion, we could take this opportunity to organize a research data workshop on site in Université Paris-Saclay during a whole day with the EUGLOH students. They will take this possibility to participate on some data workshops and get the first-hand knowledge on open research products (publications, data, software, methods, protocols, etc.)

EUGLOH Research Data Days preliminary program (timetables are subject to change)

Methodology: This side event will be co-organized jointly by Université Paris-Saclay and UiT. These institutions will assure the academic content of this event, and we will benefit the support of communication team of Université Paris-Saclay for logistics and other related issues. 

The 03rd of December will be kindly financed by the WP3 and the 4th of December by the WP6 of the EUGLOH Alliance.

Selection Strategy of Participants: Online application. Selection of the candidates based on CV, cover letter and a short abstract of their poster presentation (related to Masters/PhD thesis). The applicants will be judged by EUGLOH’s scientific community, and the selected ones will be notified by mail no later than early-October.
