Information about the 3rd Stakeholder Assembly Meeting on the Reform of Research Assessment on 8 July and reminder SHARC survey

05 Jul 2022

Dear member of the SHARC IG of RDA, Dear colleagues,
This mail is to inform you about the 3rd Stakeholder Assembly Meeting on
the Reform of Research Assessment on 8 July, that I shall attend on
behalf of SHARC; I took the initiative to register SHARC early in 2022
as one of the (so far) 350 organisations involved in this initaitive
(https://ec.europa.eu/info/news/process-towards-agreement-reforming-resea...)
; this is because the theme is in full resonance with our group topic.
There has been two previous Stakeholder meetings where SHARC was
represented by  Hanna Shmagun, another co-Chair of the group, as I was
unavailable. There is /Maximum one representative per organisation./Two
documents have been produced : an Agreement on Reforming Research
Assessmen
t, that
isclose to finalisation; and a proposal for coalition governance
.
You will find the link to the QUASI FINALISED version of the agreement
in the mail below. The Coalition governance is still in confidential
drafting but is largerly inspired by the RDA Governance.
I shall of course let you know abour the final outcome and hope some of
your own organisations will sign the Agreement in the future.
REMINDER : OUR VERY TIMELY SHARC SURVEY IS CONTINUING UNTIL END OF
SEPTEMBER. PLEASE HAVE YOUR COLLEAGUES IN YOUR COMMUNITIES ANSWERING IT
SO THAT THEIR VOICE CAN BE HEARD !
The on-line survey aims to identify perceptions and expectations of
various research communities regarding how Open Science activities,
especially towards data sharing,  are (or should be) taken into
consideration and rewarded among research activities in their
evaluation. The results will help elaborating future recommendations
towards various stakeholder groups involved in research evaluation. It
has received an approval from the research ethics committee of the
University of Toulouse. The survey is anonymous, takes about 10 minutes
and the link is here :

In your quality of SHARC IG members we count on you to disseminate the
survey in your circles! But remind people to only answer once!
With best regards to all and have a good summer for those entering a
holiday period!

Dear Madam, dear Sir,
We are delighted to share the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment
with
you (https://www.eua.eu/downloads/content/20220704-rra-agreement.pdf) .
Please note that the text still needs to be copy-edited. We also share a
proposal for the coalition governance
.
Both the agreement and the proposal for the coalition governance will be
presented at the upcoming stakeholder assembly.
**
The objective of the meeting on 8 July is to present the Agreement and
present and discuss the future governance and steps for the formation of
the coalition. Participants will be given ample time to provide focussed
input to the proposed organisation and operation of the coalition and to
discuss the steps leading towards a Constitutive Assembly.

Commission are committed to providing a welcoming, collegial, safe, and
respectful experience for the participants in the Reform of Research
