People

In line with its cross-disciplinary remit, RROx is represented by members from all four academic divisions of the University of Oxford. Our Local Network Leads (LNLs) champion open and reproducible research within their departments and connect the wider community to training, events, and initiatives. We also collaborate with liaison points across professional services and colleges, and continue to celebrate past team members who helped establish RROx.
