CoARA Workshop in Washington DC

Current research assessment practices perpetuate a ‘publish or perish’ culture, prioritising quantity over quality, and prestige over integrity. Efforts such as the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), the Latin American Forum on Research Assessment (FOLEC-CLACSO), and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) seek to reform this system, promoting openness, integrity, and equity.  

In collaboration with the Global Young Academy (GYA) and ALLEA, CoARA is hosting an event to discuss the reform of research assessment at the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) in Washington, DC (USA). Experts in Open Science and research integrity will explore transformative initiatives, their progress, and implications for early-career researchers, among other relevant issues.  

Join us for this important dialogue on reshaping research culture and ensuring inclusivity in reform efforts.
