The Association of Young Researchers of the Alpes-Maritimes (AJC06) and the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc) organize an event in partnership with UCA to address the trending topic of Open Science (Open Access and Plan S) through the screening of the film "Paywall: The Business of Scholarship", available in free access . The national plan for Open Sciencelaunched by the Minister Frédérique Vidal, is part of the European process of Open Science. It is a transdisciplinary topic that will increasingly impact the work of researchers in the future.

Plan S, already approved by 13 national organizations, including ANR in France, will be deployed in 2019 and we wish to inform the widest public of researchers, doctoral candidates and junior researchers about the topic but also discuss its pros and cons and the possible challenges that Plan S might face.
