The main goal of the collaboration is to develop and implement new research-assessment models, building on the principles of the “Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment” (CoARA), the Leiden Manifesto recommendations, and the DORA Statement.

Within this collaboration, INGENIO and AQuAS promote pathways to transform the governance of scientific activity,… through initiatives such as organizing Dimarts de Ciència Transformadora and collaborating on the development of studies and assessment strategies. The collaboration with INGENIO falls under Focal Area 2 “Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Governance.”
