Engaging the EMBO Community in research assessment reform – Features – EMBO Insights from the EMBO Young Investigator Network

As EMBO Young Investigator Programme Chair,
@guillelbendito.bsky.social has helped drive a collective effort to rethink how research is assessed.
The initiative brought together the @embo.org community to explore more responsible and inclusive evaluation practices 👇
