Can technology alone change how institutions assess research? New tools only become standard practice when governance supports them. ARION is developing adaptable model policiess. Who needs to be in the room when a policy is adopted? #ARIONProject Learn more: bit.ly/4AaZQKu
Arion Project
@arion-project.bsky.social
Advancing Research assessment through Integrated Open practices and Narrative
Meet UEFISCDI, Romania's main funder of competitive research. A pilot partner in #ARIONProject, it co-designs and tests the #NarrativeCV with a focus on multilinguality and links national lessons to the European reform agenda. #MeetTheARIONPartners 🔗Explore more: bit.ly/4eedW5u
💫What helps reviewers assess narrative CVs fairly across disciplines and career stages? ARION will explore narrative approaches in its pilots. We’d like to hear what support reviewers need. #ARIONProject 🔗Learn more: bit.ly/4ko7xZf
Meet @dorassessment.bsky.social, #ARIONProject's strategic partner, with 27,000+ signatories from 175 countries. It provides policy leadership, aligns ARION training with its Practical Guides, and hosts outputs on its Resource Library and Reformscape. #MeetTheARIONPartners 🔗 www.arion-project.eu
During the OpenAIRE Members Catch-up series, Natalia Manola explored how OpenAIRE supports the shift from principles to practice in responsible research assessment, alongside DORA’s latest guidance. Together, OpenAIRE, DORA & ARION connect principles, infrastructure and institutional change.
What if an assessor saw a researcher’s full work, not a single number? ARION’s digital profiles draw on ORCID, the OpenAIRE Graph and CRIS. Researchers enter information once and control what their profile shows. Which research contributions do your current systems overlook? #ARIONProject
Meet the Marie Curie Alumni Association, lead of #ARIONProject WP3: Empowering Change Agents. A global network of 24,000+ #MSCA researchers, it equips reform actors with the skills and support to put ARION's tools into practice. Follow our #MeetTheARIONPartners series! 🔗https://www.arion-project.eu/
Why does research assessment need to change? Research contributions now include Open Science, mentoring and policy advice, yet assessments remain tied to outdated indicators. ARION links four interventions: profiles, narrative CVs, model policies and HR toolkits. #ARIONProject #ResearchAssessment
Meet the Helmholtz Open Science Office, lead of #ARIONProject WP4. It leads the Early Adopter Programme, coordinates CoARA National Chapter engagement in Northwest Europe and chairs the German chapter. #MeetTheARIONPartners @helmholtzosoffice.bsky.social
IReL is pleased to announce the launch of the @arion-project.bsky.social (Advancing Research Assessment through Integrated Open Practices and Narrative), a new three-year @horizoneu.bsky.social project that aims to transform how research & researchers are assessed across Europe: tinyurl.com/3u3pf5ru

What needs to change first when an institution reforms assessment: policy, workflows, infrastructure or reviewer support? ARION’s readiness work, led by CRAC through Vitae, will explore these conditions. #ARIONProject

Last week in Athens, we kicked off ARION! 🚀 15 organisations came together to start working towards practical approaches for responsible research assessment and lasting institutional change. 🔗 Read the kick-off story: shorturl.at/ULbpC #ARION #ResearchAssessment
Last week in Athens, we kicked off @arion-project.bsky.social coordinated by OpenAIRE. The project will explore 4 practical routes: Narrative CVs, open infrastructure-enabled researcher profiles, institutional policies and HR toolkits. 🔗https://shorturl.at/ULbpC #ARION #ResearchAssessment
A big one 🤝 ARION and @rewire-project-eu.bsky.social came together for a joint session. A real step toward collaboration, not just formality. Project snapshots from both sides, then mixed breakouts to find shared interests and exchange areas. #ARIONproject #REWIREproject
Day 2 of ARION's kick-off, live in Athens 💫 Morning: pilot logic, baseline assessment, and breakouts on Narrative CVs, researcher profiles, model policies & HR toolkits. Next: joint lunch with REWIRE, then the afternoon programme. #ARIONproject
Day 1 wrapped ✅ We covered governance and all four work packages , evidence & readiness, pilots, training & peer learning, communication & sustainability. Partners aligned on first deliverables. Day 2 tomorrow! #ARIONproject
ARION kick-off is live in Athens 🚀 Opening remarks from OpenAIRE, followed by welcomes from the European Commission’s project and policy officers, setting the scene for the project’s first period. More from today’s sessions later!👇 #ARIONproject
🚀ARION is officially underway! 14 partners & DORA as strategic global partner meet in Athens, 16–17 Sept, for the kick-off - aligning on objectives and roles for advancing Responsible Research Assessment. 8 pilots. 4 interventions. Open infrastructures at the core. #OpenScience #HorizonEurope #RRA
