New partners, new projects and a new nonprofit: RoRI embarks on its next five years of research on research | 20.06.2022

"Today marks the start of RoRI’s Phase 2. With our international consortium of partners, we’re excited to launch another five years of generating, synthesising and translating ideas and evidence into practical solutions to improve research. Launched in 2019 by the universities of Sheffield and Leiden, Wellcome Trust, and Digital Science, the Research on Research Institute (RoRI) has grown into one of the world’s largest platforms for meta-research collaboration. Today marks the start of our second phase, which will run until 2027.  We’ve expanded our consortium to bring in new partners, and will be working with them to codesign and develop a fresh wave of projects. By turning the tools of research back on itself, RoRI generates data, evidence and analysis that can improve how we design, manage and support research. We’re also incorporating RoRI as a nonprofit social enterprise—a community interest company in UK law—which will enshrine its independence, and give us a more agile organisational model from which to advance our mission to accelerate transformative and translational research on research systems, cultures and decision-making. ..."
