June 3, 2025
The meeting on “RSE, ORD, and DMP” was a big success! We discussed how RSEs can participate in Open Research Data, and what Data Management Plans can do for the engineers and the projects. For a lot of the RSEs present, DMP was a new acronym. But thanks to Gilles Dubochet from EPFL’s Open Science, and Chiara Gabella from the EPFL library, we got a better idea what DMPs are, and where they can help us.

March 27, 2025
The Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) welcomed participants from all over EPFL to the Spring edition of our Open Source Services meet-up on March 25th. As usual, the meet-up is an opportunity for EPFL’s open source community to gather and exchange ideas and experiences. The first part of the meet-up was a round of lightning talks followed by break-out discussion groups to allow participants to dive deeper into the topics. The meet-up was wrapped up by an open-ended pizza lunch where participants could continue to chat about their experiences running and using OSS services at EPFL.
