Katie Smart served as a research librarian at UiT The Arctic University of Norway from 2022 to 2025. A geologist with research experience from three countries (Canada, Germany, South Africa), Katie's role at UiT was as a specialist in open science services. In this episode, she discusses different local and national services for open science that she has been involved in and emphasizes that marketing open science to academia must include the perspective of the target audience: the researchers. Although open science can be framed benefiting academia and society as a whole, in order to get strong buy-in from academia it must also be framed as to how it will propel each individual’s career.

In 2017, the University of Lorraine cancelled its subscription to Springer and in 2023, it cancelled its deal with Wiley. The money saved has been channeled into an Open Science Fund which supports open research infrastructures, training and support programmes for open research, and diamond open access publishing. With additional financing from regional research institutes and the national ministry, its annual budget currently amounts to approximately 500,000 Euros. A broad representative committee has been set up to decide on the use of the fund. In this episode, the Vice-President for Open Research and the Head of Research Support at the Library of the Université de Lorraine explain the Lorraine Model.
