Improving Computational Reproducibility at Amsterdam UMC

The crisis of computational reproducibility in medical science is well documented. There is not one single source of this crisis, but a number of these issues originate directly from software usage and development, such as programming literacy, version control, and documentation. At Amsterdam UMC, we are undertaking a number of initiatives to raise awareness about these issues and provide ways to improve computational reproducibility across the university. Activities include a reproducibility hackathon event (ReproHack), hands-on coding support, the development of IT infrastructure and dedicated training sessions. This poster summarizes our initiatives for the purposes of gaining feedback, sharing ideas and facilitating a discussion among fellow attendees.
