About
Institutions and their researchers face mounting pressure to demonstrate their wider value; for example, their contributions in areas such as open science, societal change, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, there are calls to improve recognition and incentives, and provide researchers with fairer career paths. The academic community needs a new evaluation structure that not only meets these needs, but is equitable, effective, and inclusive. In this session, we’ll share insights from two new reports that feature commentary from leaders of the academic community on what they would like to see change and how they see the system evolving.

What you’ll learn:

  • Support for change - there is a clear global trend towards more holistic research assessment, but many say change should happen faster

  • Barriers to change - what are the factors slowing progress the most?

  • Emerging consensus on a holistic framework - who is best-placed to lead change, and what are acceptable trade-offs?
