Evaluating Researchers: Ambitions and Realities
Panel discussion, 11/1/24, 2-3 pm (CET), Berlin and online → Register hereThe urgent need for reform in the current scientific evaluation system—largely driven by quantitative metrics—is widely acknowledged. This is particularly evident given the extensive and impressive membership of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA). Yet, how do we go about it? What progress has been made in turning these ambitions into reality thus far? This event will be made possible by the partnership of the Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research, the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research and the Berlin University Alliance.
