Come see us in Montréal, Canada, for #Metascience2027!! 🥳🥳🥳

Big announcement at #metascience2025 today!

Great to see CIHR's Alison Bourgon discussing research excellence, new funding to support research on research in Canada, and opportunities to consider multiple ways of knowing in metascience. #metascience2025

'Data is really the topic of the day'

- Maria Leptin, President ERC at #metascience2025

👏👏👏👏

Great to see African open resources highlighted at #Metascience2025

Would be awesome! I totally failed to send you the info for our Canadian lunch today 😅🥲. Will look for you at the poster session / apéro.

Happy Canada day from the Canadian contingent at #Metascience2025!

Shout out to SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social by @fidlerfm.bsky.social during the morning plenary at #metascience2025 👏👏

Coming to #Metascience2025? Make sure to visit our stall for a chat and some swag! We are also gathering your ideas for our introductory course on RRA - what do you think is essential to cover in a course on responsible research assessment basics? Contribute at bit.ly/DORA-Course!

Proud of Canada's Federal Granting Agencies for sending a large contingent to #metascience2025! Below, Matthew Lucas from SSHRC presenting our work to advance #openscience, metaresearch, and responsible research assessment.

What a pleasant surprise to meet a fellow SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social member at #metascience2025! Thanks Zuzanna Zagrodska for reaching out at the coffee break. Soon, @anticac.bsky.social to join too!

#Metascience2025 quote of the day:

'Changing a university is like moving a graveyard. It's very challenging and don't expect any help from within!'

If you're at #Metascience2025, did you realise that @plosbiology.org has a specific article type, the Meta-Research Article, for #metascience? Have a chat to our meta-research editor @roliroberts.bsky.social and check out the 73 articles that we've published over the years: plos.io/3I4avRL

👏👏 to stirring the pot

Reminder to get in touch if you would like to meet fellow #metascience2025 attendees with ties to Canada! Pls share

👍 You will be missed!

Massive crowd for the #metascience2025 kickoff at UCL in London. @jameswilsdon.bsky.social as energetic as ever as he welcomes the 800+ delegates here!

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference!
Please help spread the word!

Are you attending #Metascience2025 in London next week and do you have a Canadian affiliation (past or present)?

If you would like to meet up with other colleagues with links to Canada for an informal get together, get in touch with me: DM or dominique.roche[at]sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

Metascience 2025 conference: Catalysts of Change: How can Metascience and Interdisciplinary Research Empower ECRs?

Convenor: Anna Leung (University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany) Discussants: Elen Le Foll (University of Cologne) Shawn Hemelstrand (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) Daniel Kristanto (Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg) Format: Pre-conference virtual symposium Catalysts of Change: How can Metascience and Interdisciplinary Research Empower ECRs?. Virtual Symposium VS10 at conference Metascience 2025. https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/metascience2025/p/16480 show in the panel explorer Open an email with this virtual symposium link Share this virtual symposium Short Abstract: Interdisciplinary research advances metascience by integrating diverse methodologies, while metascience enhances interdisciplinary collaboration by fostering improved practices and networks. This symposium gathers early career researchers to explore this dynamic relationship in advancing research. Description: Interdisciplinary research plays a pivotal role in advancing metascience, while metascience provides essential tools and frameworks to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. This 90-minute symposium explores how the dynamic relationship between metascience and interdisciplinary research fosters improved research practices and networks. Four early career researchers (ECRs) from diverse disciplines share their experiences and insights, discussing how these fields mutually reinforce one another to drive scientific progress.

You are all warmly invited to our #metascience2025 virtual symposium on Friday 27 June 15:00–16:30 CEST: https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/metascience2025/p/16480 on doing #metascience and #interdisciplinary research as an early-career researcher […]

Scandinavian scientists seem to have some of the best work-life balance, Chinese scientists some of the worst, as measured by who submits their papers and peer reviews to the BMJ late at night, on weekends, and holidays😅
