AIMOS 2026 Conference

AIMOS is the annual conference of the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS). The purpose of AIMOS is to make the research process more trustworthy and efficient, and to promote the study of how research is done and how it can be improved. Our annual conference is an important collaborative space that advances this purpose.

The AIMOS 2026 Conference will bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to talk about how research is done and how we can do it better. AIMOS 2026 will be held on 30 November to 2 December at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, New Zealand.

We welcome academics and students as well as attendees from government, industry, and beyond. Please join us for three days of meta-research, skills workshops, hackathons, and discussion groups!
