“As part of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), a dedicated Working Group on Reforming Academic Career Assessment (ACA) has gathered data on both organisational and broader national and international initiatives aimed at reforming academic career assessment. This workshop highlighted the key outcomes from its large-scale survey and case studies, offering valuable insights into the current landscape of academic career assessment reforms.
Participants had the opportunity to learn about the findings and provide further input to the Working Group on potential lessons learned, as well as share experiences from reforms in their own context. These discussions informed the co-creation of an adaptable toolbox for academic career assessment, considering all university missions and the broad scope of activities, skills and competences of academic staff at different stages of their career.
The speakers were:
- Pastora Martínez Samper, co-chair of the CoARA Working Group ACA
- Virginia Barbour, DORA (The Declaration on Research Assessment)
- Maria Pietilä, University of Eastern Finland
- Mira Söderman (Federation of Finnish Learned Societies)
- Rita Morais, European University Association”
