I was lucky enough to attend this years 47th Liber Annual Conference<\/a> from 4-6 July in the French city of Lille. The theme was \u201cResearch Libraries as an Open Science Hub: from Strategy to Action<\/strong>\u201d which is very much close to my heart. I want to highlight a few interesting presentations and talks I attended. If you want to find out more, presentations are available at https:\/\/liberconference.eu\/2018-presentations\/<\/a> and Zenodo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Liber is quite a big conference. It stretches over three days (plus workshops and Liber group meetings) and was fully booked with 440 delegates from 35 countries.<\/p>\n

Keynote Speech: A National Open Science Plan for France<\/h2>\n

Prof. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Vidal is the French Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. She used her Keynote Speech<\/a> to announce the French National Plan for Open Science<\/a>. Among other things, the Minister declared the introduction of an obligation for open access dissemination of articles and works resulting from publicly funded research projects. You might think that is by now a fairly standard ambition in the EU.<\/p>\n

Je souhaite que la France soit leader dans le domaine de la #scienceouverte<\/a> et atteigne \u00e0 terme 100% de publications scientifiques fran\u00e7aises en acc\u00e8s ouvert !
Je participe au congr\u00e8s @LIBEReurope<\/a> au @LILLIADlci<\/a> pour pr\u00e9senter un plan national pour un meilleur acc\u00e8s au savoir. pic.twitter.com\/ZDv2LBTKCo<\/a><\/p>\n
