Discussions on reforming research assessment have gained momentum on a global scale. World-wide, organizations, institutions, funding agencies etc. address the need for reform of rewards and recognition. In Europe, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) has captured and embodied the call for inclusive and responsible assessment. However, for reforms to be truly impactful, they need to be based in a global conversation about foundational values and promising practices for rethinking assessments. The design and direction of research careers, incentives, rewards, and metrics are highly co-dependent across countries and regions. Hence, the conference offers a platform to discuss – and challenge – the idea of transferable credentials and rewards, and the values underpinning global reforms.  The Global Plenary Panel features representatives and voices from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America to discuss global approaches to research assessment including the role of global funding agencies in creating an inclusive and responsible global assessment cultures.
