Open science, particularly Open Access (OA) and Open Research Data (ORD), aim to make scientific literature as well as research results and data immediately available on the internet with full reuse rights. Swissuniversities, universities in Switzerland, as well as funding agencies such as the SNSF, aim to make all scientific publications funded by public funds freely and openly accessible on the internet by 2024, and also associated data sets where there are no ethical or commercial obstacles. However, this entails serious challenges and the means to address them vary depending on the institutions.

After an introduction to OA, FAIR data sharing, and ORD, a roundtable discussion will be proposed to exchange views from researchers, a field service provided by Dr. Cécile Lebrand (Head of Publications and Open Research Data Management Support Service – FBM), a strategic-level approach by Ms. Constance Delamadeleine (Open Data Project Manager – HES-SO Rectorate), as well as an exchange with the public.
