French Open Science Strategy
The French Open Science Strategy (SSO) 2026–2033, published on 16 September 2026, aims to strengthen the transformations initiated with the two previous national plans. Covering eight years, it is structured around ambitions, challenges, strategic objectives, and four-year action plans. The 2026–2029 action plan breaks down 8 strategic objectives into 30 actions and 75 measures. The SSO outlines an ambitious path for the next eight years—one that envisions a more transparent, more collaborative, and more sovereign French research system, capable of addressing the research challenges of the 21st century.
