Make Your Research Reproducible

EUTOPIA is developing bottom-up research-based communities. They are granted funding to explore, design, write and effectively submit R&I projects in areas of mutual interest (two or more partners), such as Horizon Europe ERC synergy grants and MSCA doctoral networks, bilateral or international calls. EUTOPIA also support other thematic joint pilot projects with a pronounced scientific character, joint presentations (poster or oral) at congresses and conferences under the EUTOPIA label, exchange of specific research techniques, and sharing expertise and training (e.g., MSCA coaching). Anchoring Open Science in their activities and deepening researchers’ skills and knowledge around Open Science and the support services’ capacity to deliver targeted advice and support to these communities is paramount for the alliance. It gives the Connected Communities a lighthouse character and inspires participating researchers to enact change in their institutional settings.

In this framework, training the EUTOPIA research-connected communities on research reproducibility is a fundamental objective and integral to key reform initiatives such as open science. Özgün Ünver, a data steward at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, developed these valuable guidelines.
