The Metascience 2025 Conference, at the University College London, is a global gathering to connect the study of science across disciplines, methodologies, and regions.

Our mission is to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of research. These are core values of scholarship and practicing them is presumed to increase the efficiency of acquiring knowledge. For COS to achieve our mission, we must drive change in the culture and incentives that drive researchers’ behavior, the infrastructure that supports their research, and the business models that dominate scholarly communication. This culture change requires simultaneous movement by funders, institutions, researchers, and service providers across national and disciplinary boundaries. Despite this, the vision is achievable because openness, integrity, and reproducibility are shared values, the technological capacity is available, and alternative sustainable business models exist.
COS’s philosophy and motivation is summarized in its strategic plan and in scholarly articles outlining a vision of scientific utopia for research communication and research practices. Because of our generous funders and outstanding partners, we are able to produce open-source products and services.
The Research on Research Institute (RoRI) was founded in 2019 by a group of researchers, funders and data providers with a mission to accelerate transformative research on research systems, cultures and decision-making. RoRI was based initially at the Wellcome Trust in London. At the end of its pilot phase, RoRI was established as a nonprofit community interest company (CIC). Its second phase is now underway and will run for five years, to the end of 2027.
RoRI translates ideas and evidence into practical, real world solutions. We gather evidence and data, undertake experiments and develop tools to improve how research is funded, practised, communicated and evaluated. With our partners across 15 countries, we are building a community of people and organisations who want to change research for the better.
