The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) Working Group on Reforming Academic Career Assessment, coordinated by the European University Association (EUA), has released its first outputs.
These comprise results from a comprehensive mapping exercise on academic career assessment reform initiatives at institutional, national, and international levels. The mapping included the development of a survey focusing on organisational level initiatives on academic career assessment, which gathered data from over 200 organisations from 41 countries, including both CoARA members and non-members.
The Working Group also compiled 11 case studies showcasing well-established international and national level initiatives dedicated to reforming research and academic career assessment, from Europe and beyond. Each case study follows a common template, describing the initiatives in a structured and comparable way. Additionally, the Working Group has compiled a list of practical tools stemming from these initiatives, all available online.
