Alongside the work being completed for the Open Research action plan, the Keele Open Research Network (KORN) has been developed as a space for all those interested in research reproducibility and open research. It aims to bring together like minded people to advance openness in research, share upcoming training opportunities and facilitate discussion of best practice. The network has been built on MS Teams for internal colleagues, but colleagues from other locations are able to stay up to date, join webinars and watch previous webinars here: https://www.keele.ac.uk/research/raise/governanceintegrityandethics/researchintegrity/openresearch/keeleopenresearchnetwork/
