GraspOS

✨ Thank you for joining us in Pisa!
The GraspOS Final Conference has officially wrapped up, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed to two days of inspiring discussions on Opening Research Assessment.

Since the beginning of the project in 2023, GraspOS has worked to support policy reforms and build the foundations for a Responsible Research Assessment system that is aligned with Open Science. Over the two days of the Conference, discussions featured presentations of GraspOS results, invited talks, and expert panels covering critical areas such as open infrastructures for RRA, transparency and inclusivity of assessment processes, and the recognition of contributions to Open Science.

The slides from the presentations will soon be made available in our dedicated Zenodo Community: "Opening Research Assessment: GraspOS Final Conference Open Collection" https://zenodo.org/communities/graspos-finalconference/records

In the meantime, you can take a look at the highlights from the event: https://graspos.eu/highlights-from-the-graspos-final-conference-opening-research-assessment

💫 Opening Research Assessment is taking place next week!

📌 Session A: Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment

This session will explore how open infrastructures can transform the way research is assessed, aligning evaluation practices with Open Science principles. Through insights from the #GraspOS project and its pilot implementations, speakers will showcase how open, interoperable tools and data can support more transparent, inclusive, and context-sensitive approaches to research assessment.

🎤 with @vergoulis@scicomm.xyz, @LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl, Laurent Romary, and Vladimir Otasevic

🗣️ Connecting the Dots: a new conversation is out!

In this 2nd edition of the series, we bring together representatives from @CoARAssessment@mastodon.social, @BarcelonaDORI@mastodon.social, and #GraspOS to discuss the transition to open research information, the role of the #BarcelonaDORI in driving change, and how open infrastructures can support a responsible, #OpenScience -aware research assessment system.

👥 Featuring: @MsPhelps@akademienl.social, @jannepolonen@mstdn.social, @vergoulis@scicomm.xyz

📘 New Publication: Promising stories from the GraspOS Pilot studies

In this booklet, we present the implementation pathways and outcomes of the nine GraspOS Pilot studies, aimed at advancing Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) and strengthening Open Science practices across the European Research Area.

In the past three years, the GraspOS Pilots co-designed, validated, and evaluated Open Science-aware indicators, tools, and services for RRA across three assessment contexts:
* Funding agencies and national stakeholders using infrastructure to support funding evaluation processes.
* Universities, including departments and research groups, interested in recruitment and assessment.
* Thematic disciplines that establish domain-specific assessment criteria aligned with disciplinary needs.
The booklet offers concise narratives highlighting the activities, results, and insights from each Pilot.
