National ORD Prize

National Prize for Open Research Data

Since 2023, the Academies of Sciences Switzerland have been awarding the National Prize for Open Research Data (ORD Prize). This is part of the Action Plan "Open Research Data" implemented by the Academies as part of the National Strategy for Open Research Data. This new prize aims to recognize researchers for innovative practices in the field of Open Research Data (ORD) and aims to promote the transition to open research practices. Open research data promotes transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration within the scientific community and allows society to benefit from scientific knowledge.

The ORD prize jury defined two new focus areas for this year’s competition:

(1) Collaborative and/or interdisciplinary reuse of research data

(2) Educational and/or outreach activities related to the reuse of research data.
