[Responsible-digital-futures] Research Assessment in the Digital Environment

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


The Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series,
presented by the Ethical Data Initiative, the Coalition for Advancing
Research Assessment CoARA-ERIP, International Science Council's CODATA
IDPC, and the EOSC-Future-RDA Artificial Intelligence and Data Visitation
Working Group, is a pioneering platform for advancing discussions on the
need for reform of research assessment practices and fostering critical
dialogue within the academic and research community and beyond. This
collaborative effort brings together leading experts, scholars, and
practitioners through a series of engaging discussions and interactive
sessions to empower stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to navigate
the challenges of research assessment in the digital age.
