About REWIRE

Making computational reproducibility a practical, everyday part of research across Europe.

Why REWIRE

Reproducibility is widely endorsed but rarely implemented. Tools, standards and policies exist. What is missing is the practical knowledge of how to embed them in real organisations. REWIRE closes that gap: we work with pilot organisations across domains and roles to deploy reproducibility interventions, capture the evidence of what works, and turn it into reusable blueprints, training and community networks.

Our approach

REWIRE intervenes at three points of the research workflow, supported by a cross-cutting layer of community mobilisation and capacity building.

Maturity ladder

For each intervention we describe three progressive levels of organisational adoption, so an organisation can see where it stands and what the next step is.

Starter

A template deployed, a first active plan, a named steward, training delivered.

Standard

Routine in new projects, staff trained, checking protocols in place.

Embedded

Written into call guidelines and submission workflows, ownership transferred locally.

How we work with organisations

Every pilot and follower runs the same four-phase support cycle, so the evidence they produce is comparable.

Phase 1

Prepare

Needs assessment, template adaptation, roles

Phase 2

Deploy

Implementation, role-specific training, peer support

Phase 3

Evaluate

Evidence on adoption, barriers and enablers

Phase 4

Transfer

Local stewardship and replication guidance

Pilots and followers

Eight partners run full pilots across funders, infrastructures, research organisations and a publisher, with ACM as a lighter pilot in conference tracks. Follower organisations then join in two waves, with priority for widening countries.

Validation and learning

Interventions are assessed on three layers: quantitative monitoring of adoption indicators, independent reproducibility testing of pilot research by external reviewers, and qualitative learning from focus groups and adopter interviews. Everything we learn goes into the BLUEPRINTS wiki, including what did not work.
