The Open Science Awards ceremony took place at Paris-Saclay University, recognizing achievements in open science in France. The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research awarded honors in three categories: open source software, open data, and dissertations demonstrating the principles of open science. A total of 8 laureates were honored in the open data category, 3 projects in open source software, and 8 dissertations. Each award-winning project received a prize of \u20ac5000, while dissertation laureates received \u20ac2500 and a commemorative prize. <\/p>\n
Winners in the 'Open Source Software' category: <\/p>\n
\n
GNU MPFR (Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable) \u2014 a library that implements arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic with correct rounding, based on the IEEE 754 standard. The code is distributed under the LGPLv3 license.\n
HyperSpy \u2014 a Python library for analyzing and visualizing complex multidimensional data in materials science. The code is distributed under the GPLv3 license.\n
Qumin (QUantitative Modelling of INflection) \u2014 a package for modeling language morphology, allowing linguists to analyze the patterns of declension and conjugation of words in various languages. The project won the award in the 'Science and Technology' category for its quantitative modeling of inflectional morphology. The code is distributed under the GPLv3 license.\n
SMASH (Spatially distributed Modeling and ASsimilation for Hydrology) \u2014 a library for numerical modeling of hydrological phenomena.
