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. Watch the main session recordings, along with pre-conference virtual symposia.

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.

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).
