OSCAR Project: Advancing Open Science and Research Assessment Reform in European Universities - Open and Universal Science (OPUS) Project

"The University of Rijeka is proud to announce the start of the OSCAR project (Open Science Collaboration for Research Career Advancement and Policy Innovation at UNIRI and UCY), funded under the Horizon Europe CoARA Boost call. This project, led by the University of Rijeka in partnership with the University of Cyprus and the European Office of Cyprus, aims to integrate Open Science principles into research evaluation practices, promote institutional change, foster o research culture reforms and engage national stakeholders and policymakers in an open dialogue on the reform of research assessment. Building on the outcomes of the OPUS project, which supports reforming the assessment of research(ers), OSCAR focuses on qualitative research evaluation frameworks while responsibly utilising quantitative metrics.

This initiative marks another significant step in advancing the principles of Open Science and its incorporation into research policies and practices across European universities."
