Research assessment reform: how does it affect you?

The university's mission is to contribute to the development of society through the generation and transfer of knowledge. This is why we need, both at institutional and individual level, a research evaluation system that recognises the complexity and diversity of the different ways of doing research and its impact on society. In this sense, the Agreement on Research Assessment Reform, promoted by CoARA (The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment), is having a strong impact and is triggering numerous institutional and national initiatives to rethink assessment models.

On 4 April, we will have the opportunity to learn about this reform process and ask questions about how it affects us. Don't miss this opportunity!
