NLRN Symposium 2024

Register now for the annual symposium of the Dutch Reproducibility Network on 6 December 2024 at UMC Groningen!  

Under the theme of “The Future of Reproducibility”, participants are invited to think about the role that reproducibility and replication will play in different fields of research and how a post- (reproducibility) crisis future might look like.

In the afternoon, participants are invited to join workshops such as “Reproducibility in the Applied Science”, “Reproducibility and Research Integrity” or “Analysis Blinding”.
