Is your institution considering signing the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment?
To date over 735 leading organisations worldwide, including universities, research centres and funding bodies, have signed the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment – a unified effort to maximise the quality and impact of research on a global scale. The agreement sets a shared direction for improving assessment practices for research, researchers and research performing organisations.
If your organisation has not yet signed the Agreement, we warmly invite you to join this online INSPIRING ERA event on Friday 22 November from 10:00-12:00 CET. Here you can learn more about the commitments involved, the support provided by the global CoARA coalition, and firsthand insights from other organisations already implementing the Agreement. Most importantly, it’s a unique opportunity to interact with peers, ask any questions you might have about the Agreement and CoARA, and explore how your institution can benefit from becoming a signatory.
The list of signatory institutions to date can be found on the CoARA website.
