Couperin raises €400,000 to support open science infrastructures

The French consortium Couperin has long been actively engaged in supporting open science infrastructures, fostering both their development and their uptake by the scientific community. In this context, it has steadily strengthened and diversified its support offer for its member institutions. This momentum is reflected in a significant increase in the number of proposals submitted, rising from two in 2019 to twenty-four in 2025, illustrating both the expansion of the scope of supported initiatives and the intensification of collective commitment.

In this perspective, 2024 and 2025 were marked by the implementation of a large-scale fundraising campaign aimed at consolidating and sustaining the funding of these essential infrastructures. The webpage linked here provides access to a table presenting a quantitative overview of the various campaigns conducted, along with the total amounts of associated funding. The total funds raised, increasing from €273k to nearly €400k, demonstrate a significant strengthening of commitment and support from the consortium's member institutions.
