LUMEN Voices: UGA
In this series, we share short interviews to introduce you to the diverse partners contributing to our LUMEN vision. Each month, we’ll shine a spotlight on two of our partners—offering a glimpse into who they are, what they do, and what drives their work within LUMEN. In this edition, Evelyne Miot answered our questions.

Can you briefly introduce your organisation and its role within the LUMEN project?
The University of Grenoble (Université Grenoble Alpes, UGA) is one of the two supporting institutions of Mathdoc, a French support and research unit with a national focus (also supervised by CNRS Mathematics). Founded in 1995, Mathdoc has been providing documentation and publishing services for the mathematical community in its broadest sense: researchers, documentalists, academic publishers, and laboratories. Mathdoc operates the Centre Mersenne, a comprehensive publishing infrastructure for scientific Diamond Open Access (OA) publications (mainly) written in LaTeX. Through the LUMEN project, the centre Mersenne will improve the interoperability of its publications with the codes and software hosted or cited in other platforms such as zbMATH Open, as well as with data from other LUMEN platforms. The centre Mersenne will moreover add functionalities to the “sharelatex” software and integrate this software in its editorial workflow in order to facilitate collaborative writing of articles (for aut
What is the most exciting aspect of your contribution to LUMEN, and how does it align with your organisation’s mission or values?
It is exciting to become part of a network of federated, interoperable platforms belonging to different scientific domains.
LUMEN is all about interdisciplinary collaboration. How do you envision the project transforming the way research is
So far, unexpected connections will probably be revealed, which could be the starting point of scientific advances.
Looking ahead to 2027 and beyond, what impact do you hope the LUMEN project will have on the broader research community and beyond?
For the maths community, I hope that our contribution will simplify the researcher’s daily life: facilitate access to and navigation in the scientific literature and foster the (collaborative) article writing and publishing process in a Diamond OAs platform.
