**The [ANR SoSHS](https://shs.scienceouverte.univ-lorraine.fr/ "https://shs.scienceouverte.univ-lorraine.fr/") and the [Lorraine steering committee for open science](https://scienceouverte.univ-lorraine.fr/ "https://scienceouverte.univ-lorraine.fr/") have joined forces to organise a study day on 17 November 2026 dedicated to the “costs of open science”. It will take place at the University Presidency, Cours Léopold in Nancy.**

From a multidisciplinary perspective, the day aims to highlight the costs – financial, organisational, institutional, societal, whether visible or invisible – of open science to demonstrate its benefits, but also the challenges that remain to be addressed and the resources needed to successfully transition to full open access.

Expected contributions may take a theoretical, empirical, or critical approach, from both Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) and Science, Technology, and Medicine (STM) fields.

The three proposed axes are as follows:

- Funding openness: the cost for institutions
- Producing openly: the cost for researchers
- Promoting and sharing: the cost for society

Proposals should be sent before 15 September to the following address: **[justine.richard@univ-lorraine.fr](mailto:justine.richard@univ-lorraine.fr "mailto:justine.richard@univ-lorraine.fr")**

The full call for papers is available **[here](https://lescoutsdelaso.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/1 "https://lescoutsdelaso.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/1")**.
