EUROPEAN FORUM ON RESEARCH SYSTEMS
RESEARCH IS A SYSTEM
A permanent European forum focused on the structures, rules, infrastructures and institutional choices that shape research.
researchsystemsforum.eu01 · PERMANENT FORUM
Rethinking the Systems That Make Research Possible.
Research does not happen in isolation. It is shaped by institutions, infrastructures, incentives, assessment practices, technologies, publishing systems, policies and public expectations. The European Forum on Research Systems creates a shared space to examine these connections across disciplines and sectors.
02 · FOUR PILLARS
Four Connected Dimensions of Research-System Transformation.
The Forum examines research-system transformation through four connected pillars linking research practice, institutional trust, knowledge infrastructures and the relationship between universities and society.
Trust, Integrity & Research Assessment
Research integrity, peer review, culture, metrics, careers, incentives and assessment reform.
Open, Equitable & Multilingual Knowledge
Open Science, FAIR, infrastructures, bibliodiversity, multilingualism and knowledge diversity.
Research Systems, Universities & Society
University governance, research management, policy, funding, public trust and cooperation.
