Standardizing Scientific Research to Ensure Reliable and Repeatable Business Results

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine following a recipe but getting a different cake every time; that is what happens when science isn't reproducible. This work creates a guidebook and a set of tools to make sure experiments give the same result no matter who does them. It helps researchers spot mistakes early and use the best methods to get trustworthy data.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies waste millions on R&D based on scientific results that cannot be replicated, leading to failed product launches and wasted resources.

The solution

What was built

The iRISE-SOLES online tool for systematic reproducibility assessment and an open knowledge base of evidence-based interventions.

Who can put this to work

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Drug Discovery Firm

If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with failed clinical trials due to inconsistent lab results — this project developed a roadmap for interventions that increases the reliability of scientific evidence. This reduces the risk of investing in flawed research.

Artificial Intelligence
SME
Target: AI Model Developer

If you are an AI model developer dealing with 'black box' results that cannot be replicated by other teams — this project developed a general system for diagnosing reproducibility problems using computational modelling. This ensures your AI benchmarks are honest and stable.

Quality Assurance
mid-size
Target: Certification Body

If you are a certification body dealing with inconsistent auditing standards for research quality — this project developed a knowledge base to identify and implement effective solutions for reproducibility. This allows for more rigorous quality checks.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or price for implementing these tools?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost for the tools is mentioned, though the project is performing cost-benefit analyses of interventions.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

The project includes 17 partners and aims for economic gains in Europe and beyond, suggesting a design intended for broad application across research and industry.

What are the IP and licensing terms for the iRISE-SOLES tool?

Based on available project data, the project commits to open and reproducible practices, but specific licensing terms for the iRISE-SOLES tool are not detailed.

How does this integrate with existing research workflows?

It provides a roadmap and a knowledge base to help users identify, test, and implement feasible solutions within their current practices.

What is the timeline for the final results?

The project period runs from 2023-09-01 to 2026-08-31.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily academic, with 14 universities and 2 research organizations, but it maintains a strategic link to the market through 1 industry partner (an SME). This 6% industry ratio indicates the project is primarily driven by scientific rigor, though the inclusion of experts in economics and project management suggests a focus on practical, cost-effective application.
