Shared Principles, Shared Progress: CoARA & DORA in Collaboration – CoARA

"With an aim to strengthen a global culture of responsible research assessment and drive impact through aligned principles, CoARA is pleased to announce a joint statement released with the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). The official joint statement is the result of years of collaborative efforts between the two initiatives and following strategic conversations at the EU Presidency High-Level Conference on Reforming Research Assessment in Copenhagen (3-4 December 2025).

United for a better research system

More robust, transparent and equitable research assessment supports better research. This premise unites those gathering at the EU high-level Conference on Reforming Re­search Ass­ess­ment (CERRA). It is also the ambition of many local, national and international initiatives that have emerged over the past decades. On the sidelines of the meeting we have also come together to celebrate the three year anniversary of CoARA and to advance the implementation work of DORA. As we move our agendas forward we wanted to share some of the ways DORA and CoARA work together and complement each other’s activities."
