Nicolas Rougier – CODE beyond FAIR
Bio: Nicolas P. Rougier is a senior researcher in computational cognitive neuroscience at Inria, working at the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases (Bordeaux, France) where he investigates decision making, learning and cognition. His research aims at irrigating the fields of philosophy with regard to the mind-body problem, medicine to account for the normal and pathological functioning of the brain and the digital sciences to offer alternative computing paradigms. He’s also deeply involved in open and reproducible science. He co-founded the ReScience C journal (2015) and the French Network of Reproducible Research (2021), authored the articles « Transforming Code into Scientific Contribution » and « CODE beyond FAIR » and is a member of the National Committee for Open Science.
Abstract: FAIR principles are a set of guidelines aiming at simplifying the distribution of scientific data to enhance reuse and reproducibility. My talk will focus on research software, which significantly differs from data through its living nature, and its relationship with free and open-source software. Based on the second French plan for Open Science, I’ll introduce a tiered roadmap to improve the state of research software, which is inclusive to all stakeholders in the research software ecosystem: scientific staff, but also institutions, funders, libraries and publishers. The long term goal of such roadmap is to improve software reproducibility.
