Institut Pasteur
Overview
The Institut Pasteur is a private non-profit foundation dedicated to biomedical research, public health, and scientific education, located in Paris. It has a formally committed open science policy and is a founding node of France BioImaging.
Open Science Commitment
Institut Pasteur signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access in 2004. In May 2021 it adopted both a Charter for Open Access to Publications and a Policy for the Management and Sharing of Research Data and Software Code. The Pasteur 2030 strategic plan includes open science as one of eight core values. According to their internal barometer, approximately 90% of Pasteurian publications were open access as of 2023, compared to the national average of approximately 67%. All researchers are required to deposit publications in HAL-Pasteur. Research data is managed according to FAIR Principles.
Bioimaging
The Institut Pasteur is a founding node of France BioImaging and hosts the BioImage Analysis (BIA) unit, which develops image analysis and computer vision tools for multidimensional biological microscopy. It also develops Icy, an open-source bioimage analysis platform widely used across France BioImaging nodes that interoperates with OMERO.
