As part of the Towards an Inclusive Evaluation of Research (TIER) working group, we invite you to take part in an important survey on the future of research evaluation. This initiative aligns with the broader mission of CoARA to rethink how research excellence is assessed at national and international levels. + Why participate? Contribute to a collective effort to modernize and democratize research evaluation. Help shift the focus from quantitative indicators (e.g., number of publications) to a more comprehensive assessment of scientific impact. Ensure research evaluation recognizes diversity, including contributions from different disciplines, career stages, and underrepresented groups. + Who should participate?         This survey is intended for: PhD students, researchers, professors, evaluators, and RPO/RFO staff affiliated with CoARA. Individuals engaged in academic research, research funding, or institutional evaluation. + What will your input achieve?

Results will support ongoing discussions within CoARA and contribute to academic studies on research assessment.…
