Meet the Neighbours: ORI, Sonraí and the Irish Reproducibility Network [28 Sept, 11am, online]
ORI, Sonraí and the Irish Reproducibility Network
Repository work does not happen in isolation. The same researchers whose outputs we deposit are also being asked to manage their data properly, document their methods transparently, and make their work reproducible. Different national networks are supporting different parts of that picture, often without knowing much about each other.
This ORI event brings three of those networks into the same room.
Agenda
- Welcome and introduction, Hardy Schwamm (UCC), ORI
- Sonraí, the Irish Data Stewardship Network, Zenobie Garrett (RCSI)
- The Irish Reproducibility Network (IRN), Dermot Lynott (Maynooth University), IRN Chair,
- Open discussion: where our work overlaps, and where we could work together
About the three networks
ORI is a national peer network where repository practitioners support each other, share knowledge, and work together to strengthen repository practice across Ireland.
Sonraí is Ireland’s data stewardship network. It works to raise the profile of data stewards, professionalise the role, and build the skills needed for a FAIR and open research data landscape. If you have ever been “the data person” in your team, Sonraí is talking about your work.
The Irish Reproducibility Network is a national, peer-led consortium working to improve research quality, transparency and culture across all disciplines. It focuses on training, connecting local leads across institutions, and practical support for open and reproducible practice.
All are grassroots practitioner networks, initially supported by the National Open Research Forum, and all three are working towards the same national goals under the National Action Plan for Open Research.
