On April 30, a session was held to present the services offered by the university libraries to the nine new associate professors who took up their positions at Université Côte d’Azur in September. This was the first session of its kind, integrated into the dedicated training program for new faculty members.

Several presentations introduced the university libraries, highlighting in particular their documentary resources and associated services. Additional sessions focused on research support and open science, covering both publications and research data.

The event led to rich and engaging discussions, with participants showing strong interest, especially in researcher identifiers (IdHAL and ORCID), following a personalized diagnostic of their individual situation carried out prior to the session. There was also significant interest in the Epi-Revel diamond open access publishing platform, particularly for its potential to showcase conferences and workshops organized within their laboratories.
