National Fund for Open Science
The French National Fund for Open Science is the financial instrument of the French Plan for Open Science. Its purpose is to bring a financial support for projects and initiatives leaning towards the development of open science. The general design is to develop an environment for science to be cumulative, supported by data, transparent, efficient and globally accessible. The Fund is financed through contributions from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and from French universities and research performing organisations. It can also receive contributions from associations and foundations.
For more details, see the FNSO activity report for the 2019-2021 period.
Our missions

Governance
The SIG FNSO bears the National Fund for Open Science.
It was founded by the convention of July 12th 2019, for a renewable mandate of 5 years.
The partners agreed on a flexible, transparent and collaborative structure, calling upon the will of each and every one to contribute to the creation of a sustainable environment for Open Science.
The Steering Committee for Open Science makes up the SIG FNSO’s partners’ council. In this respect, the Steering Committee decides on the grouping’s policy and rules on projects and initiatives that the Fund supports.
