ERCIM Forum 2025: “Beyond Compliance”

29–31 October 2025 – Rennes, France

The 4th edition of the ERCIM “Beyond Compliance” Forum will take place from 29 to 31 October 2025 at the Inria Centre at Rennes University (IRISA) in Rennes, France. This international event focuses on research ethics in the digital age, offering a space for thought-provoking dialogue and collaborative exploration.

This year’s edition will address four pivotal themes:

• Generative AI in research, teaching, and publishing
• Geopolitics of digital ethics, including infrastructure and digital sovereignty
• Data altruism and the promotion of open academic resources
• Digital ethics for citizens, with special emphasis on youth, literacy, and research strategies

The forum is co-located with the European Informatics Leaders Summit (ECSS’25) of Informatics Europe, and will feature a joint opening session organized in collaboration with the digital ethics working groups of both ERCIM and Informatics Europe.

Participation is free of charge, and attendees will enjoy a programme of keynotes, presentations, tutorials, and interactive sessions - with plenty of opportunities for informal exchanges and networking.

Venue: Inria Centre at Rennes University (IRISA), Rennes, France

Travel & accommodation information will be made available shortly.
