[Geo4All] Open Science and Research Integrity for Research Assessment in the Digital Age

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

I have shared my reflections from the EU Presidency High-Level Conference on Reforming Research Assessment at  https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geoforall/2025-December/006638.html

Building upon the momentum and discussions from the EU Presidency High-Level Conference on Reforming Research Assessment, The Ethical Data Initiative is pleased to invite you to join us for the next in the Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series with partners the Coalition for the Advancement of Research Assessment CoARA ERIP <https://www.coara.org/working-groups/wg-erip/>, the Research Data Alliance <https://www.rd-alliance.org/>, the Declaration on Research Assessment <https://sfdora.org/> and the International Science Council’s CODATA <https://codata.org/>.

Part of the Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series, this event, titled "Open Science and Research Integrity for Research Assessment in the Digital Age" will explore the critical intersection of Open Science (OS) practices and the imperative to uphold Research Integrity (RI) within evolving evaluation frameworks. The digital revolution has amplified calls for openness and transparency, making OS fundamental to reproducibility and trust. However, the same technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, introduce new integrity challenges, such as the risk of AI-driven data fabrication or the 'black box' opacity of complex algorithms.

The panel will address the urgent need for Research Assessment (RA) reform to recognise and reward ethical and open scholarly contributions, moving beyond reliance on traditional metrics. Experts will discuss the role of global initiatives, such as the Coalition for the Advancement of Research Assessment (CoARA), and examine practical steps institutions can take to cultivate a research culture that actively promotes ethical conduct and ensures the reliability of scientific findings in a data-centric world.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that aims to shape the future of research evaluation and governance on Wednesday 17 December, 2025, from 11:00-12:30 UTC
