CoARA, together with the European University Association, Science Europe and the European Commission, hosted a special event to mark CoARA’s third anniversary with the theme Celebrating three years of CoARA: Collectively shaping the future of research assessment.

This event brought together leading voices for a high-level discussion on how CoARA’s principles continue to guide research assessment reform in a rapidly changing world. Topics included emerging challenges such as the role of AI in research assessment, as well as broader issues of geopolitics and data sovereignty. Beyond reflection, the event also served as a celebration of the collective progress made in advancing responsible research assessment worldwide.
