Launch of the Science Europe Survey Report on Open Science and Research Assessment
Webinar
Science Europe is undertaking a comprehensive exploration of the roles played by research funding and performing organisations in advancing open science, and its links to research assessment. This webinar launched a report with the key findings of its member survey. The report reveals the strategic approaches adopted by Science Europe members, as well as their research assessment, monitoring, and evidence-gathering activities.
About the webinar
During the webinar, representatives from Science Europe Member Organisations reflected on the insights gained from the survey and discussed how these findings can facilitate mutual learning, promote policy alignment, and strengthen the role of open science in shaping research policies. The agenda included:
- Presentation of the member survey results by Bregt Saenen and James Morris (Science Europe)
- Reflection on the survey results by Sean Sapcariu (Luxembourg National Research Fund), Jolanta Šinkūnienė (Research Council of Lithuania), and Agnes Ponsati (Spanish National Research Council)
- Question and answer session with participants
The results of the survey will also guide upcoming initiatives, including member workshops and a tender for further information (launched on 28 November 2024) to contextualise and expand upon the survey’s findings. These efforts aim to develop strategic recommendations to further advance open science policies and practices.
This webinar was a unique opportunity to engage with the findings, discuss their implications, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on the future of open science and research assessment.
Presentation of the survey results
A recording of the presentation of the survey results by Senior Policy Officers Bregt Saenen and James Morris is available:
Survey Report Strategic Approaches to, and Research Assessment of, Open Science
This report analyses the role of public research funding and performing organisations in Europe in the shifting landscape of open science and research assessment reform. The findings demonstrate how Science Europe's Member Organisations actively shape and contribute to these developments.
The graphs from the Survey Report are also individually available as a set of slides for easy sharing:
