Open Science Meet-Up: public sector data and open science

On 24 November 2025, from 14:00 to 14:45 CET, the next Open Science Meet-Up will take place online via Zoom. The session will focus on the topic “Public Sector Data and Open Science”.

In many research areas, data from public institutions are an essential resource for generating new knowledge and societal insight. In this Meet-Up, Dr Goran Sekulovski, Head of the Library Unit at the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee), will introduce the concept of open public sector data and its relevance within the broader open science movement.

He will present several data access services provided by Insee and public statistics institutions – ranging from fully open data platforms to secured access for research purposes. The session will also highlight the practical aspects of data access procedures and demonstrate how such datasets can be used in academic and applied research.

After the presentation, participants are invited to take part in an open discussion and share experiences related to the use of public sector data in research.
The event is open to all, and no registration is required.
