In an era where trust in science and information is more crucial than ever, reproducibility and replicability are the backbone of credible research. But what happens when studies can’t be reproduced, and how does this fuel the growing wave of misinformation and disinformation?

This talk will explore the vital role that reproducibility and open science play in building a reliable knowledge economy and protecting institutions from the reputational risks associated with irreproducibility. We’ll dive into how these issues contribute to the spread of both misinformation - false information shared unintentionally, and disinformation - deliberately misleading information. Open science, with its focus on transparency, data sharing, and collaboration, offers a solution by empowering researchers, journalists, and the public to verify claims and counter false narratives.
