Since January 2023, the EC-funded TIER2 project has been investigating new tools, practices and policy to boost the reproducibility of research in ways that are sensitive to diverse research contexts.

At the conclusion of our project, we invite all interested researchers, policy-makers, publishers, funders, infrastructure providers and others to join our closing symposium, to be held online on 11 February 2026, 14.00-18.00 CET.

The theme will be the future of reproducibility, exploring how emerging technologies, diverse research practices, and evolving policy frameworks can shape more transparent and reliable research. Discussions will address the challenges of implementing reproducibility across different epistemic contexts, the role of AI and data-intensive methods in the reproducibility debate, and the balance between openness and responsible research practice. The programme will also consider how incentives, infrastructure, and collaboration can support a culture of reproducible research globally.

The full programme is in development and will be announced soon, including:

• Keynote presentation from Prof. Sabina Leonelli, “Humane Openness and Epistemic Diversity: Rethinking Reproducibility in the AI Age”
• Key results, lessons learned and findings from TIER2
• Expert panel on “The future of metaresearch – key gaps and challenges” 
• Expert panel on “The future of reproducibility policy”

* This webinar will be recorded and the recording will be shared via the organiser's channels. By registering you accept the terms on which it will take place.
