📣 The European Commission has published its Action Plan on reforming research assessment 📣 📖 The Commission has released the Action Plan to implement the ten commitments of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment (ARRA). The Action Plan is linked to Action ERA 3, which is a part of the political agenda of the European Research Area (ERA). ERA 3 aims to advance towards reforming the research evaluation system by assessing the quality, performance, and impact of research and researchers using more appropriate criteria and procedures. 📆 The Action Plan for research evaluation reform serves as a summary document, documenting the European Commission's steps taken so far regarding individual commitments while also outlining necessary future steps to fulfill the obligations arising from the Agreement.

Policy- and decision makers deal with complex, knowledge-demanding challenges for which simple solutions do not exist. The Guidance on Science for Policy offers definitions, principles, actions, and examples from Science Europe members to research organisations that want to engage in research–policy dialogues. https://lnkd.in/entHvM5Q #S4P, #KM, #scienceforpolicy

We're looking for new ideas to reform and enhance EU research 💡 Under #HorizonEU, €28 million available for three topics under a new call for proposals for EU funding: - Experimentation and exchange of good practices for value creation - Science comes to town - #Talent ecosystems for attractive early research #careers Research will contribute to building our common European Research Area #ERA!

In my view, we European researchers should start adding 'European Union' to our affiliation when we sign a paper as an author, just after our country. This could help to make more visible the impact that EU-based research has. I have created the tag #AddEU to promote this idea @ec.europa.eu

'At the European level, Action 17 of the European Research Area policy agenda, which focuses on the value of what it calls “R&I managers”, has given our quest for recognition a new layer of legitimacy,' writes Dipti Pandya, EARMA Chair, for Research Professional News. 📰 'Other institutions should follow the Commission’s lead. At the first session to co-create the RM Roadmap, one piece of feedback was that there is a need for support from government bodies and funding agencies to establish and sustain research management networks and associations.' ❗️ Read the full piece for free on RPN 👀 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d2G_h-kp #researchmanagement #researchadministration #researchsupport #HorizonEU #HorizonEurope #professionalassociation #researchmanagers #researchadministrators #RMAs #EARMAconference

📑 Because research, all disciplines included, has never been so important to address the global challenges we are confronted with… ‘𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐔𝐊 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐊 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠?’ In this new paper published by UKCDR, we used our extensive database of case studies showcasing the impact of international development research to highlight: ✔ the value and impact of UK-funded international development research;  ✔ how science, innovative technologies, and ‘what works’ evidence are driving forces within international development; and  ✔ examples of the wide-reaching and shared benefits of tackling today’s global challenges.

Our newly published #MSCAdvocacy report highlights the diverse participation and performance levels of 26 third countries and regions in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (#MSCA) calls under Horizon 2020 (#H2020). It also underscores the need for strategic adjustments to enhance international cooperation in scientific research. The period between 2014 and 2020 saw the MSCA become a key component of the European Union’s (#EU) scientific and academic international cooperation efforts in the world. MSCAdvocacy’s 150-page analysis reveals that all 26 target countries and regions were involved in various MSCA schemes during H2020, although to varying degrees and with significant differences in nature, extent and consistency of participation. ▶ Strong industrialised countries lead the way ▶ Promising performance from developing countries For further insights, please consult the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e2dgyYuR
