This report addresses the contributions of projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe to the reform of research assessment practices. It is part of a series of three reports, produced in parallel, that take stock of the progress and promising practices generated by a selection of EU-funded projects on skills, research assessment reform and by the research and innovation (R&I) activities of the Horizon 2020 ‘Science with and for Society’ (SwafS) projects supporting the European University Alliances (hereafter alliances). This report is the first to capture contributions of EU-funded projects on research assessment since the publication of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment in 2021. It gives an overview of the evidence relating to the practices implemented so far, on the basis of emerging and interim activities and outputs. While this first report could only include the early-stage developments, many further activities, outputs and outcomes are likely to develop at a fast pace in the coming years.
