Vision

Our vision is for the UK research system to be outstanding in conducting and promoting rigorous and transparent research.

Purpose

The purpose of the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) is to enable researchers and research-enablers, academic institutions, and other sectoral organisations working in the UK research system to collaborate, so they are better able to conduct and promote rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research.

Organisation and membership

UKRN consists of a Supervisory Board and the communities that comprise our membership: institutions that are represented by Institutional Leads — ILs; institutionally-based networks of researchers (Local Networks) that are represented by Local Network Leads — LNLs; and organisations that participate in the Stakeholder Group. The Network is supported by two external groups, an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Advisory Committee and an International Advisory Committee. UKRN is currently hosted by the University of Bristol, where the executive is based.
