The second set of bootcamps for creating the roadmap was arranged in February 11th and 17th. Bootcamps were held via Zoom and by using Mural platform.

BOOTCAMP 1 focused on the diversity of practices and activities, outputs and actors that guide the evaluation of research and researchers, through e.g. incentives and policies. BOOTCAMP 2 focused on qualitative and quantitative methods and metrics supporting responsible assessment and measurement of research and researchers.

We thank all the participant for lively discussions and a nice atmosphere!

  • Henriikka Mustajoki: Vision and roadmap for rewards and incentives for research data in research career.

5 October 2020

Over 220 resources were found and characterised by the project working group to create a comprehensive overview of the current role of FAIR data in researcher assessment. The reviewed resources included research papers, project reports, policies, data model and eInfrastructures descriptions, eInfrastructure projects etc.
