CoP for the Amsterdam MetaScience Network - OPEN

The Community of Practice (CoP) Amsterdam Meta Science Network (AMSN) brings together meta-researchers based in Amsterdam, affiliated with VU Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, InHolland, The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA), and Amsterdam based NWO-Institutes such as the CWI, AMOLF, ARCNL, Nikhef, and NSCR. The network is open to researchers of all disciplines.

Aims

The Amsterdam MetaScience Network aims to:  
  • Stage research​ - Give meta scientists in Amsterdam a stage for the presentation and discussion of their ongoing research.
  • Facilitate networking​ - Create collaboration in future meta science research.
  • Improve science in practice​ - Contribute to a culture change towards self-correction in science.
