Launch event: Paper on the Assessment of Researchers
On 27 January 2022, the League of European Research Universities (LERU) will present its new position paper, entitled “A Pathway towards Multidimensional Academic Careers - A LERU Framework for the Assessment of Researchers”.
The assessment of research and researchers is currently a prominent subject in and outside the academic world. Unfortunately, the debate is often reduced to a discussion on the use of (some) bibliometric tools in individual assessments, without providing much of an alternative. With this paper, LERU wants to contribute to the discussion from a positive perspective, showing what a future for the assessment of researchers could possibly look like in the light of multidimensional academic careers.
