Initial Meeting to Establish the Ukrainian Reproducibility Network will take place at Lviv Polytechnic National University from November 21-23, 2024 within the frames of the Ukrainian Open Science Forum.
A national reproducibility network is a countrywide peer-led consortium that aims to improve research practices by promoting, supporting, and investigating factors contributing to robust research including, but not limited to, reproducibility, replicability, and Open Science. Activities may include promoting training activities, disseminating best practices, supporting research on reproducible research practices, and advocating for reproducible and open research.
A reproducibility network typically serves as a hub to connect researchers and scientists to exchange ideas and good practices, promoting collaboration among scientists from a range of scientific disciplines. These networks provide infrastructure, facilitate opportunities for researchers and initiatives to support and amplify each other’s efforts, and foster community building and shared problem-solving.
For Ukraine, establishing a Reproducibility Network is also an important EU integration step and the opportunity to join the vibrant global group of similar networks.
Within the Ukrainian Reproducibility Network (UARN), we plan to establish a network of Local Networks (Nodes) in different parts of Ukraine. If you are a researcher, educator, or a PhD student at a higher education institution, research facility, or other research-performing organisation, and share our interest in open and reproducible research, you are very welcome to respond to the current open call to join UARN and kick-start a UARN Node in your home city or academic community.
