> 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.

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.
