On 2 June 2025 (09h00-17h00 CEST), CoARA-ERIP, WG OI4RRA and the Ethical Data Initiative, in collaboration with the European Commission and ENRIO, are organising a hybrid conference at the Palace of the Academies, Brussels, titled, ‘Advancing responsible research assessment systems in the digital space: A dialogue on ethics, integrity, and open infrastructures for research in the AI era’.

The one-day conference will bring together the full spectrum of European stakeholders involved in research assessment—spanning the European Commission, research funding organisations (RFOs), research performing organisations (RPOs), infrastructure providers and developers, policy experts, and representatives from CoARA, ENRIO, OpenAIRE and affiliated initiatives—for an open dialogue on the responsible integration of artificial intelligence into science and research funding mechanisms.

With increasing demand for accountability, reproducibility, and ethical oversight in the digital research ecosystem, the programme will explore themes of ethical compliance, data governance, epistemic integrity, open infrastructures, and methodological soundness in research evaluation practices in the age of AI.

For more information on the objectives, session descriptions, and speakers, please see the Conference Background and the Agenda.
