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.
