The theme of the seminar will be the recent developments in research evaluation, most notably “The Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment” (ARRA) from 2022, but other important initiatives include the Diamond Open Access-model and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA).

The aim of the seminar is to recognize different initiatives made to improve research assessment and, within this framework, to facilitate discussion between scientists and scholars from all over Europe. During the seminar we will hear from experts in the field of research policy within the Humanities and Social Sciences.

It is our mission to continually improve ERIH PLUS and to keep up with recent developments within the evaluation of research, and we believe that the seminar will be a rewarding forum for the exchange of ideas related to research assessment.
