Fostering Responsible Research Assessment: DORA Launches New Introductory Course | DORA DORA is delighted to announce the launch of its Introduction to Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) Course. This online, self-paced course provides an approachable, entry-level curriculum for anyone at any career stage and in a variety of roles to learn about RRA. While the course is free for individuals to take, it requires registration, and provides the option of issuing a certificate for each of its four lessons and one for its full completion.

EMBO was part of the group that developed DORA's new introductory course on #ResponsibleResearchAssessment. 🧪 We’re pleased to see its launch, more info here: https://sfdora.org/2026/02/23/new-introductory-course/

Earlier this week, a #policy workshop was held at EMBO with members of our scientific community to reflect on how #research and researchers are assessed across our funding schemes. This workshop is part of EMBO’s commitment to DORA, CoARA and to advancing #ResponsibleResearchAssessment. 🧪

Why Open Infrastructures Matter for Responsible Research Assessment (RRA)

We invest in Open Science, yet research assessment still depends on closed, proprietary systems, which limit access and reduce transparency.

Research deserves better!

#OpenScience #ResponsibleResearchAssessment

In today's world, #ResponsibleResearchAssessment is more crucial than ever. Delighted to see progress in Germany! By prioritizing fairness, transparency, and inclusivity, we can create a system where everyone, especially women, can thrive. 💪👩‍🔬🌍
