The EU-funded TIER2 project, ending December 2025, has developed tools, training, and policy recommendations to strengthen reproducible research in Europe. To celebrate its achievements, the project is hosting its final event online in February 2026.

Since January 2023, TIER2 has examined how emerging approaches, technologies and research cultures can support more transparent, trustworthy and repeatable scientific practice. The project has focused in particular on ensuring that efforts to improve reproducibility remain sensitive to the diversity of research methods, disciplines and epistemic traditions found across the European Research Area.

To mark its conclusion, TIER2 invites researchers, policy-makers, publishers, funders, infrastructure providers and all other interested stakeholders to its closing symposium, which will take place online on 11 February 2026 from 14:00 to 18:00 CET.

The event will explore the future of reproducibility, considering how technological developments, varied research practices and evolving policy frameworks are reshaping expectations for transparent and reliable science. Sessions will examine the challenges of implementing reproducibility in different epistemic contexts, the growing influence of AI and data-intensive methods, and the tension between openness and responsible research practice. The programme will reflect on incentives, infrastructures and international collaboration as essential drivers of a global culture of reproducible research.

The event will also present the project’s key findings and lessons learnt, alongside expert panel discussions on the future of metaresearch and the emerging policy landscape for reproducibility.

Register now and join us to celebrate TIER2’s achievements and explore the future of reproducible research.
