It explored how researchers and research outputs are curr ently evaluated\, the continued influence of traditional indicators and d efinitions of excellence\, experiences of bias and unequal treatment\, an d attitudes towards ongoing reforms aimed at making assessment practices broader\, fairer\, and more inclusive.The findings of the survey will be showcased at a public online event on 7 October 2026 at 12:30–14:30 CES T. The event will provide a first presentation of the results\, highlight ing key trends emerging from the responses and their relevance to current discussions on research assessment reform in Europe and beyond. Particul ar attention will be given to the perspectives of researchers themselves: how assessment practices affect careers and opportunities\, where respon dents see persistent challenges\, and how far reforms are being experienc ed in practice.An open discussion will follow the presentation. Participa nts will be invited to reflect on the findings\, share perspectives from different institutional\, disciplinary\, career-stage and geographical co ntexts\, and discuss what the evidence means for the next phase of resear ch assessment reform. The event will also provide an opportunity to consi der how researchers\, research-performing organisations\, funders\, polic ymakers and other stakeholders can help translate reform principles into meaningful changes in assessment practices.By bringing together survey ev idence and community perspectives\, the event aims to create a space for constructive dialogue between research assessment policy and researchersâ €™ lived experiences. The discussion will also help inform the MCAA’s c ontinuing policy and advocacy work on responsible\, inclusive and evidenc e-based research assessment.Register here!Register Now\nRead more: https: //www.mariecuriealumni.eu/webinars/research-assessment-practice-findings- mcaa-survey-and-community-dialogue X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:BackgroundBetween 1 8 September and 19 October 2025, the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA ) conducted a survey on research assessment, gathering direct evidence fr om current and former Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellows and alumni on their experiences and perceptions of the topic.
