The Reproducible Research Masterclass is a one-day course designed to teach World Bank staff and consultants how to make their research fully reproducible.
Through lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will learn how to create a reproducibility package, how to document their code and data, and how to avoid common reproducibility failures. Researchers from across the World Bank Group will share their experiences publishing reproducible Working Papers and Flagships.
This event will be held in person in Washington, DC on September 29, 2025. By the end of the day, participants will have the skills and knowledge needed to submit reproducibility packages to the World Bank’s Reproducible Research Repository.
The masterclass is suitable for staff at all levels, and highly encouraged for all staff planning to publish in the Policy Research Working Paper series. For those interested, the Reproducible Research Fundamentals 3-day course will be held from September 30 to October 2, 2025.
