For research assessment to truly support Open Science, we must prioritise transparency, inclusivity, and fairness in how we recognise research activities and contributions. This means not only ensuring that all contributions to Open Science are valued but also promoting openness in the data, tools, services, and other resources used in the assessment process. 

We invite you to our Conference on Opening Research Assessment, where we will present the results of the GraspOS project and engage in discussions on transforming research assessment into a system that is open, responsible and aligned with the principles of Open Science. 

The GraspOS project supports the emerging policy reforms and paves the way for a responsible research assessment system that is fully aware of and integrated with Open Science practices. GraspOS focuses on developing, assessing, and operating an open federated infrastructure designed to aggregate open resources that can catalyse the implementation of relevant policy reforms. 

The Conference will not only showcase the key outcomes and insights of the project, but will also feature invited talks and expert panels addressing critical topics for advancing a responsible research assessment system that fully embraces Open Science principles including:

  • Open infrastructures for responsible research assessment
  • Transparency and inclusivity of the assessment processes
  • Recognition of contributions to Open Science 

We also invite poster contributions aligned with these themes by anyone interested. Guidelines on how to submit a contribution for the Poster Session are available below.
