This Talk will take place in English exclusively on Zoom. Registration is not required to attend.

Abstract: High-quality research data is essential for producing relevant and reusable results. A master’s thesis, completed in 2022 by Céline Racine at the University Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Unisanté) in Lausanne, established recommendations to be implemented within the institution. The purpose of this presentation is to outline the results, limitations, and future prospects of this project.

Speaker: Racine Celine

With a Bachelor's and a Master’s degree in Information Sciences—specializing in data governance—from the HEG-Genève, Céline Racine has been working in the information sector since 2012.
She has been working at the University center for primary care and public health (Unisanté) for 10 years and specializes in research data management and data anonymization. She supports research teams in managing their data from the very start of their project, beginning with the preparation of the budget for a funding application. She participates in providing ethical and regulatory support prior to submissions to ethics committees and can act as an intermediary for anonymization during the course of the project. At the end of a research project, it manages the datasets through a data curation service, including de-identification or anonymization, and then makes them available through the institutional repository https://data.unisante.ch. Céline Racine was promoted to head of the Documentation and Data Unit (UDD) in 2025. Since then, she has divided her time between supervising a small team of librarians, overseeing the unit’s strategic management, providing support for research data management, and teaching.

The Zentralbibliothek Zurich, the CERN Scientific Information Service, and AILIS (Association of International Librarians and Information Specialists, Geneva) jointly organize the Library Science Talks. A programme of talks for 2025 can be found on the AILIS website.
