As we approach the ITRN Annual Congress in February 2027, it is time to renew the Association’s Steering Committee for the 2027–2028 term through online elections.
The elections will determine the new members of the ITRN Steering Committee, who will be officially announced during the ITRN General Assembly at the 2027 ITRN Congress in Turin.
All ITRN members who are in good standing and interested in serving on the Steering Committee for the 2027–2028 term are invited to submit their candidacy.
Applications must be sent by email to elections@itrn.org no later than 1 November 2026 at midnight.
Each application should include:
a brief candidate statement (approximately 10–15 lines), including the candidate’s motivation and objectives for serving on the Steering Committee;
a short curriculum vitae, provided on the second page.
Candidates must be ITRN members in good standing (renew your membership here: https://www.itrn.org/join-itrn).
The names and profiles of all candidates will be published on the ITRN website (www.itrn.org) by 1 December 2026.

Online voting will be open from 7 January 2027 until midnight on 12 February 2027.
Only members whose membership fees are fully paid as of 31 December 2026 will be eligible to vote (renew your membership here: https://www.itrn.org/join-itrn).
Each eligible member may cast up to six (6) votes for members of the Steering Committee: one (1) vote for the President-elect and five (5) votes for the other Steering Committee members. The Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-President will subsequently be selected from among the elected Steering Committee members.
Together with the new President, appointed during the 2025 ITRN Congress in Verona and due to take office for the new term, the elected members will form a seven-member Steering Committee.
Positions will be assigned according to the number of votes received. In the event of a tie, the candidate with the longest-standing ITRN membership will be elected.

Dear all,
We are delighted to announce that the annual conference of the Italian Reproducibility Network (ITRN) will be held in Turin!
On 15 and 16 February 2027, the Italian reproducibility community will gather at the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM), which will host and organise the event. The local organizer committee is coordinated by Michaela Kuepferling.
These two days will be dedicated to reproducibility, open science and the promotion of increasingly robust, high-quality research.
You’ll be able to present scientific posters across various categories, and you can enter the competition for one of three awards!

THE ITALIAN REPRODUCIBILITY NETWORK
THE ITALIAN REPRODUCIBILITY NETWORK
The Italian Reproducibility Network (ITRN) is a peer-led consortium that aims to investigate the factors that contribute to robust research and disseminate them within the Italian scientific community. This is achieved by promoting initiatives and acting as a community to get in touch, exchange ideas and good practices, and promote collective learning. ITRN seeks collaboration with scientists in several disciplines, technical experts in relevant fields and stakeholders, so as to connect the widest possible spectrum of skills and knowledge.
Similarly to the other Reproducibility Networks in the world, ITRN investigates the factors that contribute to poor research reproducibility and replicability, and try to develop virtuous approaches to counter these factors and improve the quality of research. It also promotes collaboration among scientists and experts across a broad array of disciplines.
