UniDistance Suisse joins CoARA 

By joining CoARA, UniDistance Suisse becomes part of an international coalition working collectively to reform research assessment practices. The coalition promotes assessment approaches that recognise the diversity of research contributions and place greater emphasis on qualitative evaluation supported by the responsible use of quantitative indicators. It also provides a platform for collaboration, mutual learning and the development of new assessment approaches across the global research community. 

CoARA membership reflects UniDistance Suisse's intention not only to support these principles but also to contribute actively to their further development. Through the coalition, the institution joins universities, research organisations and funding bodies in exploring new approaches to research assessment and exchanging good practices.  

Joining CoARA places UniDistance Suisse within a rapidly growing community of organisations committed to improving research culture and research assessment. The coalition currently brings together hundreds of member organisations from around the world, creating opportunities for cooperation at both national and international levels.

Together, DORA and CoARA provide a strong framework for promoting research quality, openness, transparency and fairness. By engaging with these initiatives, UniDistance Suisse continues its commitment to fostering an environment in which scientific contributions are assessed on their merit and recognised in all their diversity.
