University Rankings Under Scrutiny – Open Access as a Performance Indicator, and Institutional Perspectives from Germany and the Netherlands – OA Datenpraxis

"University rankings are shaping institutional strategy more than ever – but how well do they actually measure what matters? And what happens when Open Access becomes a performance indicator?

This interactive online workshop brings together professionals from German and Dutch universities to critically examine how rankings are constructed, how they are used in institutional decision-making, and how institutions can respond more strategically.

The workshop is primarily aimed at university management, research and ranking managers, library management staff, Open Access/Open Science officers, bibliometricians, and anyone working at the intersection of research evaluation, rankings and Open Access strategies."
