Basic information:
The Ukrainian Reproducibility Network (UARN) was established in November 2024 as a national professional community in the fields of open science, research reproducibility, and research integrity.
The Network is a member of the Global Federation of Reproducibility Networks (GFRN), integrating it into the international movement of national reproducibility networks.
UARN aims to bring together Ukrainian researchers, educators, research managers, open science experts, and representatives of research institutions around practices that improve the quality, transparency, and reliability of research. Its key areas of activity include fostering a culture of reproducibility, promoting open science principles, supporting open peer review, organising training and professional events, developing international cooperation with partner networks, and preparing joint pilot initiatives and international project proposals.
