The French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), CIRAD (French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development), and the Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters of Benin (ANSALB) have joined forces to organize the second edition of "Open Science in the South" conference event, which will be held in Cotonou between 25 and 27 October 2022.

This year, the theme is, "Management and openness of research data: panorama and perspectives in Africa." The objective will be to draw up an overview of the dynamics at work and to propose places for exchange (conferences, practical workshops, poster presentations), in order to share and promote good practices.

IRD, CIRAD and ANSALB have opened a call for papers, workshops and posters to participate in the event. The call focuses on the management and openness of research data, protocols, algorithms and computer codes in Africa, particularly in French-speaking and Malagasy countries. This call is open until May 31, 2022.
