She was previously an assistant professor of Statistics at Columbia University. She completed her PhD in statistics and her law degree at Stanford University. Her research is focused on reproducibility issues in computational science, including developing standards of openness for data and code sharing, and resolving legal and policy barriers. She co-founded RunMyCode.org, an open platform for disseminating the code and data associated with published results. Michel Jaccard is the founder of corporate and technology boutique firm id est avocats, based in Lausanne. He has been involved in the last 20 years in more than a hundred corporate finance and M&A deals in Switzerland and abroad, acting for entrepreneurs and owners, venture capital and private equity firms, industrial buyers and financial sponsors. Along his corporate expertise, he sits on several advisory boards and regularly helps C-level execs and board members of SMEs and global brands navigate the world of advanced technologies, distributed computing, open source and open access, data protection and cybersecurity, and more generally manage their online presence and digital transformation. Michel holds a JD and PhD from the University of Lausanne and an LLM from Columbia Law School (Stone Scholar, Fulbright grantee). He is admitted to practice in Switzerland and New York, and has been highly recommended in Corporate/M&A, Technology, Media/Telecoms and Intellectual Property for the past 10 years by leading guides such as Chambers and Legal500. Isabelle Kratz has been Library Director at the Swiss Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) since March 2012. Located in the famous building known as the Rolex Learning Center, the EPFL Library has recently been working to regain its place within the institutional research community, while not losing sight of students’ needs. Competencies and efforts have focused on major issues such as Open Access Publication and Open Research Data. The work is beginning to pay dividends and the Library now has a major role in the stewardship of services dedicated to researchers. Before coming to EPFL, Isabelle Kratz was Library Director at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, where she worked at modernising librarianship and libraries. Her library experience ranges from leading technical library services to managing important libraries with different positions in between. She is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale des Chartes (Paris) as archivist-paleographer (Ecole Nationale des Chartes, Paris), and she has a Master’s in History from University Paris I. |

This free event took place in the Rolex Learning Center from Monday 25th to Thursday 28th September at 6pm on the EPFL Campus (Rolex Learning Center). Following the programme of the Open Science Summer School, each day focused on a specific aspect of Open Science: landscape, publications, research data, code and tools.
The main goal was to encourage a constructive thinking and stimulate discussions about Open Science, offering every evening two or three short public talks followed by an aperitif, to allow participants exchange in an informal and convivial context.
The event was open to EPFL community, as well as all those who wanted to learn more about Open Science, getting an overview of its main stakes and the related evolution of academic research.
Watch the playlist of all talks given by specialists in the Open Science field on Youtube.
