We’re excited to share the launch of the MetaScience Alliance, a new global initiative bringing together organisations committed to improving how science is done, shared, and evaluated. Read the announcement in Nature: Meta-science alliance launches to improve research culture. Learn more and sign up for updates: cos.io/metascience-alliance
UKRN is a founding member of the MA, and part of the interim Steering Group. Over the next two years, we’ll be working to establish the terms of reference, develop the membership framework, and begin rolling out activities that strengthen collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the meta-research community.
National RNs can signal their interest to be part of these discussions (e.g. vote on membership schemes) by signing a letter of intent individually. If you are interested, please email e.b.roesch@reading.ac.uk.
Once the RN Federation is established and we have more clarity on the MetaScience Alliance membership model, we may consider having the Federation join the Alliance as a representative body for all RNs
