Description
Join us for the third edition of the Paul Meehl Graduate School Annual Symposium, a gathering dedicated to fostering collaboration and community in the field of metascience.
This year, in collaboration with the Platform for Young Meta-Scientists (PYMS), we are organizing a two-day symposium that brings together early-career researchers and established experts to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss current challenges and opportunities in metascience.
The symposium is designed to combine hands-on learning with opportunities for scientific exchange. The first day will feature a mini-workshop and hackathon sessions, and the second day will focus on research presentations and keynote talks. More detailed program information will follow.
