The ABOARD project is delighted to invite you to the ABOARD capstone event: “Responsible Research Assessment & Open Research: Why they matter and how we can make them happen!” at the Royal Irish Academy (Dublin) on March 27, 2026.

The ABOARD project  is funded by the National Open Research Forum (NORF) and focuses on system-level incentivisation of Open Research practices. Promoting and embedding Open Research practices is inextricably linked to the ongoing movement around a reform of research assessment, and as such closely aligned with the goals of DORA and CoARA (the Coalition on Advancing Research Assessment).
