In the spotlight

Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) launched
 

The Constitutive Assembly of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) took place on 1 December 2022. The Assembly, which brought together the organisations that signed the Agreement for Reforming Research Assessment and have confirmed membership in the coalition, officially launched CoARA and decided on the terms of its governance and operations.

Within the coalition, signatories of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment will come together to facilitate exchanges of information and mutual learning between all those willing to improve research assessment practices and to enable systemic reform.

Research Ethics and Integrity in the Context of Public Engagement: 2022 High Level Workshop report published

 
Across four sessions, the 14th Science Europe High Level Workshop brought together a variety of stakeholder groups, including national ministries, EU institutions, researchers, citizens representatives and journalists, to take stock of the challenges and opportunities that arise where research integrity and ethics meet public engagement.

It focused on three related, but distinct types of interaction:
  • communicating with a broader audience
  • interacting with decision makers
  • citizens in research- engaging

Open Science as part of a well-functioning research system

Science Europe and its members support Open Science as part of a well-functioning research system. The Open Science direction paper, lauched by our Governing Board member Thierry Damerval during the Open Science conference on 18-19 October, sets the direction for an open and seamless collaboration between research actors and involvement of societal parties where relevant.

The Open Science conference comprehensively explored and discussed an increasingly diverse field and sprawling number of interlinked initiatives that supports the transition to Open Science.
