Edinburgh Open Research Initiative and ReproducibiliTea

Learn more about Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea the Edinburgh Open Research Initiative, two grassroots efforts to promote and sustain an Open Research culture at the University.

Edinburgh Open Research Initiative

The EORI is a grassroots collective of students and staff based primarily at the University of Edinburgh, promoting awareness of and training in Open Research practices and policies, and lobbying for these to be implemented and formally recognised by the University of Edinburgh.  Through community building, cultivating grass-roots support, and reviewing pre-existing support the Initiative seeks to promote sustainable and ongoing positive change in line with the pillars of open research.

EORI hosts regular events, including ReproducilbiliTea (more on this below) and Honest Research Conversations that are open to all.

ReproducibiliTea

Established in 2020 by PhD students Niamh MacSweeney and Laura Klinkhamer, the Edinburgh section of ReproducibiliTea has the aim of supporting researchers from all career stages (including students) in navigating the possibilities and challenges that the open research movement brings about. Through informal online discussion sessions, the organisers hope to encourage researchers to adopt more open research practices and show them the benefits of doing so on both an individual and community-level.
