OPUS is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support action project focusing on developing measures to reform the assessment of research(ers).
The project is developing a researcher's framework which GraspOS would like to take into consideration for the implementation of certain components of the Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF) and of GraspOS services, tools, and data for research assessment support.
Collaboration with OPUS will help avoid duplication of efforts and will ensure that the potential for aligning towards complementary outcomes is exploited.
The consortia of both projects, recognising the relevance of their respective subjects, have agreed to collaborate in various ways. This collaboration entails organising joint meetings and events, as well as exchanging early results.
The joint activities which have already taken place are listed below.
