Why and how should researchers manage their digital identity? 

  • Category: Open Science Webinar
  • Dates: March 17, 2026
  • Timetable: 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Location: Online

In a context of rapidly expanding scientific literature, managing one's digital identity is a strategic challenge for all researchers.
After discussing the origins of this exponential growth, we will look at the elements researchers can use to build their identity: persistent identifiers, IdHAL, ORCID accounts, online CVs, and social networks.  
This webinar is not a training course: it is more of a comprehensive overview of digital identity.
This presentation can be usefully supplemented with two other more practical webinars: one on creating an IdHAL and HAL CV, and one on setting up an ORCID profile

The UM Open Science team is continuing its webinar program in 2026.

These webinars cover various topics related to Open Science (digital identity, open access publications, etc.).

They take place on Tuesdays every other week, between 11am and 12pm, with a presentation and a time for discussion.

These webinars will then be posted on the UM's Youtube channel, in the Open Science Playlist.
