Designing What Matters: Co-Creating Open Science Dashboards

Designing What Matters: Rethinking Open Science Monitoring Together
How should we measure and reward Open Science in ways that matter to researchers, institutions, and funders? In this 90-minute co-creation workshop, participants will build their own Open Science dashboard using real indicators from PathOS and GraspOS Horizon Projects. Working in groups, you’ll craft visual prototypes, debate what to measure and why, and explore how stories, not just scores, can drive meaningful change in research assessment. Join us to design smarter, fairer ways to track Open Science impact.

Designing What Matters is a 90-minute co-creation workshop bringing together policy makers, research support professionals, researchers, bibliometricians, and librarians to rethink how we monitor the impact of Open Science and reward it within research assessment frameworks.
Building on the GraspOS Researcher Profile and Monitors, participants will break into small groups and receive a curated set of pre-selected indicators (on paper cards or lists). Each group will be tasked with designing an “Open Science dashboard” on a poster tailored to a specific stakeholder level — such as individual researchers, research-performing organisations, or funders.
The session begins with a short joint presentation introducing the indicator typologies developed in PathOS and explaining how these inspired the Researcher Profile in GraspOS. This shared foundation will set the stage for structured group work, guided by three core questions:
What are we trying to measure?

What kind of data would we need?

Who could collect or interpret it — and for what purpose?

Groups will visually design their dashboards and then reflect on how the selected indicators could be interpreted, used in decision-making, and communicated through compelling storytelling.
This hands-on, participatory session will surface diverse perspectives and generate concrete prototypes that can inform the development of meaningful indicators — contributing to broader efforts in Open Science monitoring, assessment reform, and impact evaluation.
