Open Science

  • Science ouverte

Open science is a movement aimed at making scientific research and the data it produces accessible to everyone, across all levels of society. It encompasses the open access to publications and research data, as well as transparency in research processes, thereby enabling greater reproducibility and upholding the integrity of research.

Active and committed to open access since 2014, Aix-Marseille University seeks to ensure the widest possible access to the scientific output of its community, including both publications and research data. This commitment reinforces the institution’s investment in its missions of knowledge dissemination and the advancement of scientific and technological research in the service of society.
