Exporting records from Serval to ORCID and the FNS CV
This training is designed for researchers who would like to learn how to properly export their Serval records to ORCID.
|
Subsequently, participants will learn how to enrich their FNS CV by integrating their ORCID references. Although this integration is not mandatory, it offers a new possibility to display publications, with the ORCID account information appearing directly in the generated CV.
|
The session will include demonstrations and individual support to ensure a deep understanding and effective application of the techniques presented.
|
Prerequisites: please bring your laptop and make sure you have an active Unisciences profile (applications.unil.ch) before participating in the training.

Research ethics
Ethical issues are playing an increasingly important role in research discourse and practice. Whether to comply with legal requirements, meet new demands from funding bodies and publishing houses, or gain access to certain fields, researchers are increasingly required to submit their projects to ethical evaluation procedures.
|
|
While this development is necessary in many respects, it can sometimes be perceived as an obstacle to academic freedom.

Hands on Open Access
The SNSF, the EC and Switzerland's national Open Access strategy now require all publicly-funded research results to be published in Open Access mode. Are you up to the challenge?
|
This hands-on workshop will show you what Open Access is and the different Open Access mandates of the major funding agencies. We'll guide you through the different ways of publishing in Open Access, taking into account your rights and obligations regarding Open Access as a UNIL researcher. We'll show you the resources available to help you publish in Open Access, and how to disseminate your latest Open Access publication in practice.

Alliance CIVIS
As a member of the CIVIS Alliance, a prestigious network of eleven European universities committed to the transformation of higher education and societal development, the University of Lausanne (UNIL) is committed to creating innovative programs focusing on five key thematic areas:
|
- health ;
- cities, spaces and mobility ;
- digital and technological transformation ;
- climate, environment and energy ;
- society, culture and heritage.
This membership opens up opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration for researchers, teachers and students, reinforcing the university's commitment to civil society.

Launch of Interface
The Interface partnership research fund is designed to support innovative approaches to research, aimed at meeting concrete needs in the field. These approaches will also make the results more accessible to society, with the aim of achieving a societal impact in the medium term. The relevance of Interface projects is thus based on the link between scientific expertise and the knowledge and skills of those working in the field.
