Pastora Martínez Samper

We need to explain much more and much better that improvements on research assessment are already underway, stressed @pastorams.bsky.social, co-chair of the EUA Expert Group on Open Science and co-chair of the @coarassessment.bsky.social Working Group on Academic Careers, today at #OSFair2025

So glad to have the opportunity of enjoying the #OSFair2025 at @cern.bsky.social and learning so much from esteemed colleagues ✨

On my way to Geneva to participate in the #OSFair2025
If you are attending the conference at CERN join us tomorrow in the session connecting #openscience and a more responsible research assessment ✨

Molt enriquidora la jornada sobre la reforma de l’avaluació de la recerca alineada amb @coarassessment.bsky.social ✨
Molts bons exemples i propostes d’universitats i centres catalans.
Un espai necessari!
Gracias a l’ @ibecbarcelona.eu per organitzar-ho i a @cerca.cat per donar-li suport 🙌
