The Institute is delighted to announce that it will be partnering with the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) as a stakeholder. The UKRN is a peer-led consortium that aims to ensure the UK retains its place as a centre for world-leading research by investigating the factors that contribute to robust research, promoting training activities, disseminating best practice, and working with stakeholders to ensure coordination of efforts across the sector.

Like the Institute, the UKRN works across disciplines ranging from the arts and humanities to the physical sciences, and encourages grass-roots practice. It is led by Marcus Munafò (Bristol), Chris Chambers (Cardiff), Laura Fortunato (Oxford), Alexandra Collins (Imperial), and Malcolm Macleod (Edinburgh). We look forward to working with them on a range of joint initiatives, including training in software development and data management skills.
