Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to this year's invitation to the interdisciplinary meta-science summer school in Germany, see below. Please forward to advanced students and doctoral researchers who might be interested.

Thank you!

Meta-science Summer School: Get hands-on training in research on research

Concerned about the quality, reproducibility, rigor and transparency of research? Interested in learning how to use “research on research” to improve research in your field? Apply for the Meta-science Summer School (deadline May 22) to get hands-on experience, while collaborating with researchers from different fields and countries. Meta-research studies the research process and tests interventions to improve research quality, culture and practice. During this week-long school (August 23-28, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany), participants will work in small groups with experienced meta-researchers to design and start meta-research, or science of science, studies. Participants may continue working after the summer school to finish and publish their project.

The school is open to researchers from any field and welcomes researchers who do not have meta-research experience. There is no cost to attend. Travel funding is available for a limited number of students. Instructors include Tracey Weissgerber, Vladislav Nachev, Malcolm Macleod, Anita Bandrowski, Rachel Heyard and Marlene Altenmüller.

The school is funded by Volkswagen Stiftung and organized by the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research and the EXCELScIOR ERA Chair meta-research team at the University of Coimbra. Supporting organizations include the German Reproducibility Network, meta-rep, iRise and the Portuguese Reproducibility Network.
