Join us on 13 March 2026, 3-5 p.m. for a colloquium with the 2025 Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research winners, who are reshaping how knowledge is produced and trusted. From reforming research culture in psychology, to coordinating a nationwide replication effort in Brazilian laboratory biology, to uncovering errors in high-throughput genomic analyses, they each offer concrete ways to make scientific findings more robust and reproducible.

Speakers:

Simine Vazire, Professor of Psychology Ethics and Wellbeing at the University of Melbourne, Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science
"Lessons from Psychology's Replication Crisis"

Olavo Amaral, Professor of Biochemistry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
"Investigating and fostering reproducibility at a national level: insights from the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative"

Maximilian Sprang, Junior Group Leader at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
"Erring rigorously – On quantifying the impact of errors in the wet lab on downstream analysis"

The Award is a cooperation of the Einstein Foundation Berlin and the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and is partnered by the Berlin University Alliance, the publisher

Nature Portfolio, the Public Library of Science (PLOS), the National Academy of Sciences, the Max Planck Society and the Max Planck Foundation.
