Recherche Data Gouv is France’s national federated research data repository, operated as part of the country’s open science policy. It provides researchers with infrastructure for depositing, describing, sharing, and preserving research datasets across all disciplines. Built on the Dataverse platform, it supports FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and offers institutional and thematic data spaces. The platform facilitates collaborative data sharing between research teams and institutions, addressing governance and sustainability challenges in long-term data stewardship. It serves as a key element of the French research infrastructure ecosystem alongside HAL (for publications) and Software Heritage (for source code). It is particularly relevant in Social Sciences and Education.

Recherche Data Gouv supports open source, distributed and interdisciplinary collaboration and is suited for multi-organization networks and community-scale initiatives in remote settings.
