“I believe that different disciplines in different places, some more applied, some more basic, should develop their own research assessment processes differently according to their missions, needs, aspirations.”   Ismael Rafols, who leads the UNESCO Chair on Diversity and Inclusion in Global Science at Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), was among the speakers at the recent event 'Reforming Research Assessment to Foster an Open and Socially Responsive Research Culture,' jointly organised by the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), the Global Young Academy, and ALLEA.

🚀 Broadening Horizons in Research and Innovation 🌍 The European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation event, hosted within the HU24EU Presidency at the Council of the EU, provided an excellent platform to discuss increasing participation and broadening horizons in European research and innovation. 🎤 I was honored to join the panel discussion on "The role of excellent research support in improving participation in FPs – the practitioners’ perspective." Together, we explored key points: ✅ Research management and administration (RMA) in institutions and national ecosystems are critical investments. ✅ There’s no excellent research or innovation without excellent research management support. ✅ The exchange of best practices among RMAs is crucial to addressing gaps across Europe. ✅ Joining EARMA is a valuable step to foster collaboration and drive progress. 💡 Thank you, Virág Zsár and Ágota Dávid, for spotlighting this vital topic within the Hungarian Presidency discussions, and a big thank you to my fellow panelists for such a productive and inspiring session Massimo Busuoli Dirk De Craemer Petra Horvat Florence Ranson. Let’s continue working towards a more inclusive and innovative European research landscape!
