The Horizon Europe project TIER2 has announced an award for establishing a new Reproducibility Network to empower rigorous research practices.

Recognising the perceived poor levels of research reproducibility, the TIER2 project has set out to investigate reproducibility challenges across scientific domains in order to enhance trust, integrity, and efficiency in research. Now, TIER2 is actively seeking applications for the establishment of a new Reproducibility Network (RN), extending an invitation to consortia in Widening participation countries to apply here by 1 May.

An RN serves as a national, peer-led consortium of researchers striving to promote reproducible research practices and strengthen the trustworthiness of scientific findings. As part of its mission to equip stakeholders active in the field of reproducibility and Open Science with the necessary skills, connections, and resources, TIER2 is supporting nations in underrepresented areas to establish new Reproducibility Networks.

The project will award three consortia in Widening participation countries with 5,000 Euros each as seed money to support the kick-off meeting for establishing an RN in their respective countries. Following the success of the first TIER2 open call, where consortia in Georgia and Ukraine were awarded, TIER2’s second call invites new consortia to submit their proposals. Selection criteria will be based on the feasibility, scope, and sustainability of the proposal.

For further details on the open call and to submit your application, please visit this webpage.
