The Symposium will feature presentations by the host organizations on current methods and innovations to advance transparency and reproducibility in economics, as well as expert panels on the following topics:

1. Definitions of Reproducibility;
2. Balancing Open Data and Privacy; and
3. Practical steps to improved Transparency, Reproducibility and Credibility in Economics.
