Proposals are submitted to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensource-experience.com\/en\/program\/program-committee\/\">programme committee<\/a> for approval, which will select those that best meet the programme&#8217;s objectives. Themes (or tracks) structuring the programme are defined by the programme committee and are available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensource-experience.com\/en\/themes-2025\/\">here<\/a>. The programme committee is made up of a pool of experts for each track and is coordinated by the Systematic Paris-Region Open Source Hub.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;border-color: #c7f2f2;text-align: center\">\n<h3>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/pretalx.com\/open-source-experience-2025\/cfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK TO ACCESS TO THE CALL FOR PAPERS 2025.<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">The ambitions of the programme<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nAt a time when Europe&#8217;s digital future is uncertain, we have chosen to focus this year&#8217;s conference on the contribution of open source to Europe&#8217;s strategic autonomy. The editorial by Ludovic Dubost, chairman of the programme, is available here: \u2018Open source, key to Europe&#8217;s strategic autonomy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In line with the main theme of the conference, we are looking forward to :<br \/>\n&#8211; Case studies demonstrating the success of Open Source solutions in production,<br \/>\n&#8211; Innovations demonstrating the technological excellence of European Open Source,<br \/>\n&#8211; Presentations on implementation and tools for migrating from proprietary solutions,<br \/>\n&#8211; Presentations to help our industry develop in terms of the business, financing and governance of open source.<br \/>\nEach theme will set out its expectations for the presentations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>This year&#8217;s themes are:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Business models and governance for sustainable open strategies<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Artificial intelligence and scientific computing for data analysis<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Cloud architecture and virtualisation for an autonomous future<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Collaborative tools and business applications: regaining digital autonomy<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Development: software innovation in action<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Cybersecurity &amp; the software production chain: open source as a foundation of trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensource-experience.com\/en\/themes-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can find more details on the themes page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>International Track<\/strong><br \/>\nThis year, we have decided to set up an international multi-theme room for conferences presented in English. If you submit your proposal in English, regardless of the track you choose, the best presentations will be placed in the international room. Other presentations will still be considered for the thematic rooms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Selection process<\/h3>\n<h4>Stage # 1 &#8211; Collection of proposals<\/h4>\n<p>Proposals will be collected from 5 May to 22 June at midnight. During this period, speakers submit their proposals on the dedicated platform.<br \/>\nPlease indicate whether your presentation is in French or English, taking into account the International Track.<\/p>\n<h4>Stage # 2 &#8211; Closing of the &#8220;Call for papers&#8221; and initial selection<\/h4>\n<p>The members of the programme committee examine and evaluate the proposals for the theme for which they are responsible. This results in an initial selection. Applicants may be asked to clarify a proposal or answer questions during the selection process. The programme committee reserves the right to reassign a proposal to a more suitable theme, and to ask a bidder to adapt its proposal so that it is more in line with the programme&#8217;s editorial line.<\/p>\n<h4>Stage # 3 &#8211; Final decision<\/h4>\n<p>At the beginning of July, the theme managers on the programme committee will make their selection from the proposals accepted at stage #2, based on the editorial line they wish to give to their theme and the number of slots available for each theme.<br \/>\nConferences within a theme may be organised into sub-themes. Tenderers may be asked to join a round table instead of their individual conference proposal.<br \/>\nA review of all the selected proposals will be carried out to ensure that the programme is well balanced, that no organisation is over-represented and that diversity issues are respected among the speakers.<br \/>\nOnce the final list has been drawn up, those shortlisted will be contacted and asked to confirm their attendance at the event. Unsuccessful speakers and those on the waiting list will also be notified.<\/p>\n<h4>Stage #4 &#8211; The programme will be online<\/h4>\n<p>During the summer, the programme committee will draw up the programme schedule. Each speaker will then be notified of the day and time of his or her presentation. The programme will go online at the beginning of September.<br \/>\nOf course, nothing is ever perfect, so we are constantly refining this selection process. Despite the fact that selection is becoming increasingly difficult, our objective remains simple: to offer our participants the best possible programme to serve our ecosystem.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;border-color: #c7f2f2;text-align: center\">\n<h3>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/pretalx.com\/open-source-experience-2025\/cfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK TO ACCESS TO THE CALL FOR PAPERS 2025.<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, please don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us: <a href=\"mailto:programme@opensource-experience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">programme@opensource-experience.com<\/a>, and we&#8217;ll be delighted to discuss them with you in more detail.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensource-experience.com\/en\/program\/faqs-speakers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Got a question?
