For cultural change to happen, it takes concerted effort and coordination
The conference will gather and unite the global and European community for two days of discussions and inspiration and ensure that Europe and Denmark will keep at the forefront of global development, taking stock of the internationalized nature of scientific collaboration, talent mobility, and job market.
The conference is organized by Aalborg University and the international stakeholder committee in collaboration with the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, as part of Denmark’s EU Presidency in 2025.
Objectives of the Conference
The aim of the conference is to contribute to the current dialogue on reforming research assessment and the political agenda of the European Union by emphasizing the need for reform and support for science and innovation by offering an international platform for stakeholders, experts, and policymakers to discuss progress and next steps.
Furthermore, the ambition of the conference is to support state-of-the-art discussions on research quality and impact and offer a timely platform for Member States and international stakeholders to consider their practices of research funding and assessment.
