COARA

COARA

CIAC is one of CoARA – Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment‘s founding members. TCoARA is an international organization promoted by Science Europe, the European University Association (EUA), and the European Commission. Its aim is to alter research evaluation in a way to recognize all production, activities, and practices that maximize research’s quality and impact.

As a member of CIAC’s Executive Council, Manuel Célio Conceição partook in international partners’ assemblies that contributed to the drafting of the Agreement documents for the organization. Based on 10 commitments, a common approach has been established for the reform of research evaluation, respecting organizations’ autonomy.

CIAC’s participation attests the international presence of the Center and demonstrates its contribution to the evolution of research methods and procedures (which cannot conform to mere metric quantification).
