Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Sicot is a library technology leader with 14 years of experience designing and operating digital repositories, metadata systems, and discovery platforms at major French and Swiss academic institutions, now heading Repositories and Archives at EPFL Library. He combines deep domain knowledge in metadata standards, open science practices, and interoperability with hands-on systems work across platforms like Koha, Primo, Omeka and institutional repositories. Passionate about the Open movement, he focuses on discoverability, transparency and reuse, routinely delivering metadata audits, integrations and pragmatic solutions that improve access to research outputs. Known for a collaborative, curious approach, he bridges librarianship and software engineering to make scholarly infrastructure more reusable and measurable, and is equally comfortable shaping strategy as implementing technical fixes. An unexpected strength is his long-running habit of translating user needs into robust, standards-driven metadata models that scale across institutional ecosystems.
