The RIOS Collaborative Program 2025

What is the RIOS Collaborative Program 2025?

We invite all research integrity and open science researchers, teachers and other stakeholders at the VU and Amsterdam UMC to send us ideas about events we can organise as RIOS this year.

Proposed activities should fall into at least one of RIOS’s four pillars (see more information here) and clearly demonstrate the benefit for the VU and Amsterdam UMC communities.

Events can include trainings, workshops, symposia, or hosting guest researchers on campus for a maximum of one month.

The motivation behind this program is to fill the gap regarding our community’s needs.

How should I design my event idea?

Event ideas can be max. 500 words and should include the following:

Rationale – why is this activity important and necessary, which RIOS’s pillar does it fall into, and why should RIOS organise it?
Target group of the event and who will benefit from it?
Details about the event – how do you envision this event taking place?
Those involved – In what ways do you want to contribute to the event yourself? Who else will be involved and what are their affiliations?
Budget – taking into account reasonable costs (e.g. max. €5,000 for symposia, trainings).
Timeline – the event needs to take place this year.

What is the event criteria?

Relevance for RIOS’s mission and target community – namely researchers, teachers and other stakeholders working on research integrity and open science at the VU and Amsterdam UMC
Relevance for broader VU and Amsterdam UMC community
Feasibility
