In the quest to recognise the diverse contributions of its constituents and staff to all the academic activities, thus contributing to the European initiatives of reforming the research assessment system, in the summer of 2022 the University of Rijeka, Croatia (UNIRI) was one of the early signatories of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment (ARRA), hence officially joining the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) and endorsing the respective commitments. In this framework, UNIRI aims to reform the assessment of all academic activities, i.e., those including not merely research activities and outputs, but also teaching/supervision, leadership, community engagement and knowledge valorisation as well as societal (incl. cultural) and economic impact in general, and public outreach. In this document UNIRI lays down the activities it will implement in the short and medium timeframes to enhance its academic assessment approaches and practices.
