CoARA @ BUA
The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) is an international alliance of organizations committed to reforming the methods and processes used to assess scientific performance. More than 350 international organizations contributed to the development of the Agreement on Research Assessment Reform. It provides a common direction for changes in the assessment practices of research, researchers, and research institutions, with the overall goal of maximizing the quality and impact of research. The Berlin University Alliance joined CoARA by signing the agreement in April 2023.
