The Netherlands Reproducibility #Network (NLRN) is a national peer-led consortium with the goal to increase the quality and efficiency of #research in the #Netherlands by coordinating, supporting and strengthening initiatives on #reproducibility and #transparency in all scholarly disciplines.

This is a #throw-back post to about a month ago, when 90 #reproducibility enthusiasts from across domains and #academic workprofiles met to discuss what shapes and forms a #researchCulture where working reproducibly becomes the norm.

Last call to register! Please spread the word! This Thursday we are organizing another edition of the UG/UMCG Code Café: a #RepairCafé for your #Research #Software

Register here:👉 https://www.edu.nl/raw4y

Anyone at the UG/UMCG writing code for a research project can join. We will have expertise present on R, Python and HPC but may also be able to help with other problems.

From 20-22 July, the 4th #ACM #Conference on Reproducibility and Replicability will take place in #Delft.
The conference welcomes contributions on methods, tools, case studies, and community efforts around #reproducibility and #replicability in #computational research.

Deadlines: 10 March (abstracts)/17 March (papers)

These are the happy faces of satisfied participants who have completed the Reproducible Research Through Reusable Code Workshop! Next to training researchers, we also had a few software trainers joining from different institutes across NL, who are considering to start offering this training locally. If you would like to join our workshop as an observer or if we can help you implement any of our trainings, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]!

Really happy to see that the Dutch research and education community is growing on Mastodon.

Thanks, @wlaatje, for compiling this overview of 80 universities, research organizations, libraries, faculties, research groups, and individual academics who are (some more, some less) active on Mastodon.

80 Ways to follow Research, Science and Education on Mastodon

Last week, an appeal was shared on LinkedIn (because, yes... for now it is still where you reach people to point out that there is more than LinkedIn) by

SURF Communities

tagging a few people who contributed/attended (and are on mastodon):

@f_ostermann @NilsArlinghaus @LudoWaltman @matherion @RonaldVisser

Lots of laughter, old friends, new faces: our annual symposium brought about 90 people from different career stages, disciplines and roles in the #academic system together. We discussed the differences between #quality assurance and policing #research practices, learned about galaxy and #nanopublications, and caught up with #reproducibility related projects.

To everyone who participated, contributed and joined us: Thank you for making this a lively and energetic event!

It was a joy to participate in the annual symposium of the @Dutch_Reproducibility_Network
today! Nice presentations and discussion and it was great to see many people again and meet new friends!

We are happy to announce our afternoon keynote speaker: @LudoWaltman from CWTS, Leiden

Ludo will be talking about research assessment and how current reforms can strengthen research reproducibility.
His talk will be followed by our closing plenary discussion where we will reflect on the day and try to answer the question: "Who will drive the culture change?"

You can still sign-up for our symposium on 19th January in Leiden:

In two weeks, we'll kick off this new year with a cool workshop where we combine #Reproducibility and #OpenScience with #BehaviorChange 🤩

Come join us in Leiden!
