3 years of Recherche Data Gouv

Updated at: 08/07/2025

On July 8, 2022, Recherche Data Gouv was launched with a strong ambition:

To unite data management and dissemination initiatives,

To support scientific communities in data management, sharing, and openness

and to Share, Open, and Reuse French research data.

 

Three years later, the results speak for themselves:

  • an organization that is becoming firmly established,
  • a role that is gaining ground in international dynamics, with active participation in two EOSC projects,
  • research data that is increasingly well curated and valued,
  • and a collective commitment that continues to grow, strengthened by ongoing engagement across the ecosystem.

📊 Key figures:

3.1 million data downloads and over 6,200 datasets available on the Recherche Data Gouv repository

36 support structures to assist researchers

400 staff members mobilized across 81 partner institutions, all committed to sustaining this public research data service
