Watch Sessions from Metascience 2023

The Metascience 2023 Conference, held May 9-10, 2023, at the National Academy of Sciences building in Washington, DC, brought together a diverse community of researchers, reformers, funders, publishers, and other stakeholders to explore ways to improve the rigor, reproducibility, inclusivity, and impact of research. For those who were unable to attend the conference, or for attendees that would like to rewatch any sessions, the main session videos, along with pre-conference virtual symposia, are now available.

The conference focused on the study of science, how it is conducted, and how it can be improved. As a global in-person gathering to connect the study of science across disciplines, methodologies, and regions, Metascience 2023 united communities to share ideas, evidence, and foster a culture of continuous experimentation and improvement.

Metascience 2023 followed the inaugural Metascience 2019 Symposium held at Stanford University and Metascience 2021 Conference, a virtual conference.

The partnering organizations for Metascience 2023 were the Center for Open Science (COS), the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS), and the Research on Research Institute (RoRI) .
