Being able to reproduce research is a key aspect of creating knowledge. If a study can be reproduced by another lab then the validity of the findings are confirmed. This is particularly important in AI research with questions around explainable and trustworthy AI. There are a number of different ways to refer to reproducibility, in this piece we are actually referring to replicability using the standard ACM definition. It refers to research that reuses the data and/or analysis to hopefully get the same results.

Amsterdam Data Science, in which CWI participates as a partner, recently announced that 3 PhD projects will shortly commence, fully funded by Science Foundation Ireland (an award of around 0.5M€). The PhD students will spend their studentships between Insight Centre for Data Analytics (Ireland) and up to 1 year at an Amsterdam Data Science partner. This marks a further step in this already strong collaboration and an excellent opportunity for PhD students to benefit from the joint expertise. The vacancies will be advertised very soon. The awarded project in which CWI will be involved is called "Smart Partnerships" to develop STEM competencies that transform lives to live and thrive in a complex connected global society.
