Experiment, translate and transform: priorities for the next decade of research on research
Please join us for a special online event to kickstart RoRI's second phase, from 15:00-18:00 CEST (14:00-17:00 BST) on 20 June 2022 . The event is co-hosted with the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
Our opening keynote speaker will be Michael Nielsen who is a pioneer of both quantum computing and open science, and co-author of one of the most cited physics texts of all time. His 2011 book Reinventing Discovery was one of the FT's books of that year, and helped to make open science a global issue. He is now based at the Astera Institute in California, where he works to develop tools and processes to speed up the way scientific discoveries are made. His talk will build on his recent paper on this theme, co-authored with Kanjun Qiu.
