As part of Denmark's Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Aalborg University together with international partners is hosting a conference on reforming research assessment on 3-4 December, 2025 at Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center in Copenhagen.
The conference is supported by the European Commission. EUA is part of the international stakeholder committee of the conference.
In today's knowledge economies, universities are expected to translate and disseminate research and innovation broadly, contributing to growth, competitiveness, better regulation, and quality of life. To stimulate the broader impact and uptake of research-based products and advice, incentives and metrics need to be aligned.
At this conference, the organizers together with the Danish Presidency and the European Commission will address the need for reforming research assessment, present progress on CoARA, and highlight drivers of change in the broader ecosystem of science, innovation, and technology.
The conference is primarily an in-person conference but if you are unable to attend in person or prefer to stream the conference, you have the opportunity to follow the majority of the conference online. All activities on Day 1 will be live-streamed. On Day 2 plenary sessions will be live-streamed. For more information see the programme.
CoARA, together with the European University Association, Science Europe and the European Commission will host a special event to mark CoARA’s third anniversary with the theme “Celebrating three years of CoARA: Collectively shaping the future of research assessment”.
This event will bring together leading voices for a high-level discussion on how CoARA’s principles continue to guide research assessment reform in a rapidly changing world. Topics will include emerging challenges such as the role of AI in research assessment, as well as broader issues of geopolitics and data sovereignty. Beyond reflection, the event will also serve as a celebration of the collective progress made in advancing responsible research assessment worldwide.
The event takes place on December 3rd, 2025 from 9 AM till 11 AM. It is open to both onsite participants (limited capacity) and online participation. Please register for on-site participation or online participation.
