Prof. Ken Younge's project was one of the nine winners of the new EPFL Open Science Fund, which was created in September 2018 by EPFL President Martin Vetterli.
The reviewing committee received nearly 50 propositions and Prof. Ken Younge (Chair of Technology & Innovation Strategy) was selected as one of the nine winners. This fund aims at supporting ideas to develop open and reproducible research on campus and beyond.
Title: Open Science Using Proprietary Data
Consider the case: "I want to make my research open, but the data I use was obtained from a commercial data provider.” The apparent paradox between maintaining property rights AND facilitating replication and verification by others is not insoluble. To address this problem, a team at the Chair of Technology and Innovation Strategy will develop an encryption method to facilitate replication studies from proprietary datasets.
