The French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space has just published the 2026-2033 open science strategy, which aims to consolidate the achievements of the two previous national open science plans (2018 and 2021). Roughly a hundred pages long and organized in four parts (ambition, challenges, objectives and the 2026-2029 action plan), it places open science within a broader landscape – “openness is not practiced for the sake of openness” – and clarifies its contribution to the key challenges of research: visibility, reproducibility, integrity, sovereignty and innovation.

In 2026, GRICAD will celebrate its tenth anniversary. Established on 1 January 2016, our unit was created out of a desire to bring together the digital expertise and infrastructure of the Grenoble site in order to support scientific communities with their needs in high-performance computing, data management and research software. Building on the legacy of the CIMENT project (High-Performance Computing, Modelling, Numerical and Technological Experimentation), our unit has, over the course of a decade, become a key player in digital research in Grenoble.

These two letters seem to be everywhere these days — even in our daily lives. But what exactly lies behind them? And how can AI be used in the context of academic research?

In this episode, Béatriz Araujo, Cécilia Satrin and Léo Challier share their insights, drawing on their experience working as engineers and their contributions to MIAI research projects. Feed your curiosity!
