ANECA, together with the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) will present on 9 February, in the auditorium of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the launch of the National Chapter of CoARA in Spain, an initiative for the reform of the evaluation of research in which more than seventy institutions in our country participate.

The director of ANECA, Pilar Paneque, will participate in the event together with the president of CSIC, Eloísa del Pino, and the president of CRUE and rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón. The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Universities, Juan Cruz Cigudosa, will also take part in the presentation of the event.

The European Commission promoted a consultation process that has crystallised in the Agreement on Research Assessment Reform (ARRA). In order to carry out this reform, an international Coalition of Organisations for the Advancement of Research Assessment (CoARA) was formed, which ANECA joined in April 2023. 

In this context, ANECA, together with CRUE and CSIC, coordinates the National Chapter of CoARA in Spain, which has been conceived as a collaborative space in which Spanish institutions interested in the reform of research evaluation can exchange ideas, good practices, experiences and knowledge, taking into account the specificities of the Spanish context.

All participating institutions are welcome to attend the launch event.
