Reimagining Research Assessment: Open Science Values in Action
How can we build fairer, more inclusive research assessment systems? This panel explores how Open Science principles are reshaping Responsible Research Assessment, from narrative CVs to diverse outputs and responsible metrics. Join voices from CoARA, funders, researchers, and infrastructure providers as they share tools, lessons, and visions for future-ready reform.
As the global research community embraces reform in how research is assessed, emerging practices grounded in openness, transparency, and inclusivity are gaining traction. This panel will explore how new approaches to Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) are being shaped by Open Science values and supported by open infrastructures. It will bring together perspectives from policy initiatives like CoARA, open infrastructure providers, research funders, and researchers actively piloting assessment reforms.
The discussion will address the challenges and opportunities of implementing narrative CVs, assessing diverse research outputs, and integrating transparent metrics and AI responsibly. It will also highlight tools and infrastructures that enable practical implementation at the institutional and national levels. The audience will be invited to join a forward-looking conversation on what a future-proof, fair, and inclusive research assessment system could look like, and how to get there.
