Community of Practice on Open Science and Responsible Research Assessment
12 March 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Next online event coming up on
More traditional, publication-driven assessments of research(ers) are running out of steam. Multiple initiatives are promoting responsible assessments of research and researchers. Simultaneously, a movement that incentivises open scientific practices is developing and gaining footing on European and national levels. These two movements have a unique opportunity to strengthen and reinforce one another. Research assessment reform can provide a big boost to the adoption of Open Science, and the transparency offered by Open Science can serve as a key enabler for assessment reform.
In bimonthly sessions, facilitated by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University (NL), we ask: How can research assessment consider Open Science and vice versa? What does Open Science translate to in research practice?

Exploring the role of context in Responsible Research Assessment
This Community of Practice (CoP) session is inspired by the diverse research assessment approaches observed across the nine GraspOS pilots. Initially, we classified these pilots by type to facilitate mutual learning. However, we soon realised that the classifications offered little practical value. In this session, a diverse panel of stakeholders will explore the significance of context in assessment reform and its broader implications. The discussion will be structured by the recent call for assessment reform that is ‘as aligned as possible, but as diverse as necessary’. (Stroobants, et al., 2024)
