Session outline for Research Assessment as a Driver for Change
In this opening plenary panel, speakers take stock of current and future dimensions of research assessment to maximize the quality and impact of research and innovation. Urgent imperatives include the need for incentives and rewards that foster the production, transmission and implementation of knowledge and innovation by equipping individual researchers, universities, and funding agencies with the necessary infrastructures and frameworks to enable scientific leadership. Speakers represent a range of voices from the academic community and the science funding ecosystem. The panel explores evolving expectations of European and international research teams to play an active role in securing competitiveness, democratic values, and scientific autonomy. A prerequisite for a vibrant science and innovation system is sustainable research cultures that enable excellence and impact through flexible and diverse career paths, inter-sectoral mobility, and evaluations that acknowledge academic entrepreneurship, innovation, and public engagement.
