[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


This might be of interest esp. for colleagues working in planning
university strategy for REF 2029, so please feel free to share this
information.


On behalf of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment-ERIP WG, I am
pleased to inform you that  CoARA-ERIP in collaboration with the European
Commission, is organising a full day conference on "Advancing Responsible
Research Assessment in the Digital Space" at the Royal Academy of Belgium
for Science and the Arts (KVAB) on Monday 2 June 2025 from 9:00 am to 17:00
(CEST) in Brussels.


The conference will bring together the full spectrum of European
stakeholders involved in research assessment—spanning the European
Commission, research funding organisations (RFOs), research performing
organisations (RPOs), infrastructure providers and developers, policy
experts, and representatives from CoARA, ENRIO, and affiliated
initiatives—for an open dialogue on the responsible integration of
artificial intelligence into science and research funding mechanisms.

The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) is a collective of
organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes by which
research, researchers, and research organisations are evaluated. Current
research assessment methods rely heavily on publication-based metrics such
as citation counts, and often fail to recognise the wide array of
contributions made by researchers.


Over 700 research organisations, funders, assessment authorities,
professional societies, and their associations have agreed on a common
direction and guiding principles to implement reform in the assessment of
research, researchers, and research organisations, outlined in the
Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment published in July 2022 which
provides an outline for reform and implementation.
