Raise awareness and discussion about the importance of approaches to assessment that incentivise, reflect and reward the plural characteristics of high-quality research, in support of diverse, inclusive and open research cultures.

Engage all types of stakeholders in the movement for change: ministries, universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutes and other research-performing organisations, public funding agencies, and private foundations, including organisations that already are or could become CoARA signatories.

Discover the most responsible assessment approaches and alleviate contradictions between different assessment layers and processes concerning individual researchers and research teams, research organisations and higher education institutions, research infrastructures, and research outputs and projects.

Facilitate the effective and timely implementation of CoARA commitments and other supporting and related recommendations (e.g., DORA, ERA Policy Action 3 & 4, and Recommendation for the responsible evaluation of a researcher in Finland) within and across signatory organisations.
