ITRN has become a non-profit association, registered on 2 January 2023, whose aim is to promote, support and guard Open Science practices through the following activities
a) organisation of cultural and educational activities, such as conference and seminars to disseminate the culture of Open Science;
b) organisation of training initiatives aimed at building the skills to implement Open Science principles in one’s own research and institutionally with one’s own institution;
c) promotion, conduction and publishing of surveys and empirical analyses on the implementation of Open Science principles;
d) promotion and dissemination of transparent scientific practices;
e) establishment of international collaborative networks with legal entities dedicated to the promotion of Open Science;
f) support for metascientific research and multi-lab projects;
g) stimulating the participation of its members in international research projects and calls for funds related to the Association's aims;
h) advocacy to institutional decision-makers, and in particular to Italian and European legislators, for the promotion of Open Science in the management of academic and non-academic communities;
i) support of access to Open Science for all people regardless of origin, nationality, age, gender, psychosocial status, income, role, discipline, language, religion.

Mission
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 offering a hub for scientists 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.
