Redefining Data Governance: Insights from the French University System
Redéfinir la gouvernance des données : les enseignements du système universitaire français
Abstract
This position paper highlights the distinctive features of French universities that render data governance within these institutions a particularly challenging endeavor. These universities inherently operate in an exceptionally open milieu, necessitating the conceptualization of governance as a dynamic and adaptable framework that converges seamlessly with the governance structures of other institutions. The principle of collegiality further mandates a distributed approach to data governance, encompassing responsibilities, rules, and procedures across various levels of management. Moreover, it is essential to reevaluate the conventional viewpoint that segregates administrative tasks from research and teaching functions. Our findings underscore the necessity for developing and executing a dynamic, multi-tiered data governance model that integrates the three fundamental missions of universities. Given the intrinsic nature of French universities, it is imperative to envisage governance as an evolving ecosystem of agents who assume complementary responsibilities in a harmonized manner.
