The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Nexus Labs is the platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) for interdisciplinary experiments, technical research, methods and supervised innovation challenges. This page lists experiments once each has been authorized: a reviewed protocol, a named principal investigator, the safeguards that apply and a plan for making the result reproducible. No experiment is shown until its record exists. The current service level is R0: information and enquiries.

Nexus Labs experiments are authorized research studies, each with a reviewed protocol, a named principal investigator, the safeguards that apply and a plan for making the result reproducible. An experiment is listed only once its record exists, and its result is published whether it supports the hypothesis or not.
For experiments, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on true-colour imagery and land cover with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on World; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Layers and dates
In the design of the Labs system in Nexus Foundry, the protocol and each run are recorded separately: the protocol says what should happen, the run records what actually executed, with the environment, data cut and code version. Reproduction attempts are recorded with their outcome. A run can finish without producing a valid result, and the record says so. See the Labs system for the technical model.
Experiments appear here once authorized and once their investigators agree to publication. Some experiments are not listed publicly because their data or sites are restricted; their results can still be published on published evidence when released.
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authorized | Protocol reviewed, safeguards in place; runs may start |
| Running | Runs under way and recorded |
| Under review | Results being reproduced and independently reviewed |
| Concluded | Result accepted, rejected or inconclusive, and recorded |
| Stopped | Halted by a stop condition or a safeguard, with reasons |
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Pre-registration | Publishing an evaluation's design and analysis plan before results are known. |
| Computational reproducibility | Re-running the original data and code and obtaining the reported results. |
| Research ethics approval | Approval of a study protocol by an independent ethics committee before data collection involving people. |
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
