Assessment reform coalition to select near-term priorities

Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment also expected to agree support for working groups

The group helping to implement an EU-coordinated push to improve research assessment will meet on 30 January to agree near-term priorities.

Launched in December 2022, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment is helping to implement the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment, which has four main commitments: recognising the diversity of research contributions, basing assessment primarily on qualitative evaluation, abandoning the “inappropriate” use of metrics and not using institutional rankings to assess researchers.
