NLRN — Netherlands Reproducibility Network
Overview
The Netherlands Reproducibility Network (Dutch Reproducibility Network, NLRN) is a national peer-led consortium working to improve the quality, efficiency, and transparency of research across Dutch scholarly disciplines by coordinating, supporting, and strengthening reproducibility and open-science initiatives. Launched in November 2023 and supported by an NWO grant, it brings together research-performing organisations such as universities, local grassroots Open Science Communities, and other stakeholders including research funders, focusing on stakeholder alignment and agenda-setting rather than operating infrastructure directly. It coordinates events, training, and replication activities such as ReproHacks, and works alongside Open Science Communities Netherlands (OSC-NL), with which it has a published division of roles. As the Dutch member of the international reproducibility-network movement, it connects national reproducibility efforts to the wider community of national networks to align practice and reduce duplicated effort.
