Meta-Research Symposium
The Meta-Research Collaborative and NYU Langone’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute host an annual Meta-Research Symposium, where we explore the critical role of meta-research (research on research) and translational science in shaping the future of science and improving research practices. The symposium seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote awareness of the meta-research being performed across our institutions. Attendees from across institutional roles and across disciplines are welcome.
The next Meta-Research Symposium is planned for the Fall of 2026 with a call for abstracts and final date and location announced early 2026.
