Workshop - Reproducibility in Practice: Learn from Real Cases & Improve Your Code

The Challenge of Reproducible Research. The reproducibility crisis isn’t just a headline—it’s a daily struggle. From PhD requirements to peer review, irreproducible code wastes time, undermines credibility, and holds back scientific progress.

How Can You Avoid These Pitfalls?

Join us on May 21 (15:00-18:00, Langezijds 2516) to transform your approach to reproducible research. Through real cases from UT’s Code Verification Competition and hands-on guidance, you’ll:

• See real-world examples from the competition—what worked, what didn’t, and why.
• Get expert feedback on your own code to boost its reproducibility.

For whom?

• Researchers tired of "guesswork debugging" their old code
• PhDs needing to meet reproducibility requirements
• Anyone who’s ever thought, Why won’t this script run anymore?!
