The RIOS symposium 2026, aimed at researchers, academics, and support staff with an interest in research integrity and open science, is the ideal forum for mutual learning and for connecting with colleagues who share similar areas of expertise and interests.
RIOS stands for Centre of Expertise for Research Integrity and Open Science and aims to increase visibility and connect researchers, academics, and support staff dedicated to improving research integrity and open science practices at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Amsterdam UMC. Learn more about RIOS’s mission, pillars, and activities on our webpage.
This year’s symposium main theme is ‘Making the Links: Bridging Research Integrity & Open Science’. The symposium will feature presentations on ongoing research that explores and extends beyond research integrity and open science topics (e.g., epistemic injustices, reproducibility, naturally occurring data, etc.). We will also unveil the winners of this year’s RIOS Collaborative Program, which aims to support initiatives such as training, workshops, symposia, and research fellowships centered on the core themes of RIOS. The call for proposals is still open (deadline: 24th March 2026; also open to non-academic staff)! Find the call attached.
