Metascience 2025

A global gathering for knowledge sharing, community building, and opportunities to define a roadmap of research and intervention priorities to accelerate science

Many scholarly fields conduct descriptive research about the research process. Advocates and reformers have prescriptive ideas about how the research process might be improved. Policymakers, funders, publishers, and other stakeholders enact changes to the social and technical infrastructure of research. All have an interest in whether changes and reforms have their intended effects or unintended consequences that might accelerate or inhibit advancement, translation, and application of research. Together, these researchers and stakeholders are the research and development pipeline for improving the system and practice of research. The Metascience 2025 Conference will bring these communities together to share ideas, evidence, and foster a culture of continuous experimentation and improvement.

With a focus on institutions, innovations, and alliances, Metascience 2025 will explore how metascience can drive change: shaping policy, leveraging new methods and AI, and building longer-term infrastructures for open and effective research.

Metascience 2025 will include a programme of free virtual pre-conference symposia from mid-June, aiming to expand the international conversation on key metascience topics ahead of the conference itself.
