OPUS Stakeholder Consultation: Help Shape the Future of Research Assessment!

• May 15, 2025

The OPUS project invites researchers, research managers, funders, and policy makers to give their feedback on a draft of the OPUS Researcher Assessment Framework (RAF). The RAF consists of a wide range of indicators to assess researchers in grant evaluations and career progression and goes beyond research publications to include other research, education, leadership, and societal impact activities as well as Open Science. The workshop on 10^th June 2025 will present the RAF and open discussion with all participants on how to improve the RAF.

During 2-hour online session you will:

• review the Researcher Assessment Framework and proposed indicators and metrics
• share feedback on specific indicators through breakout room discussions

Why it matters:

Whether you’re a stakeholder in research evaluation or a champion of Open Science, your feedback will help in the final revision of the framework, to create more inclusive and effective researcher assessment practices.
