Growing endorsement for CoARA
To this day, March 29 2023, CoARA exceeds the threshold of 500 organisations having signed the agreement – and the counting continues. This is a good achievement given the short term passed since the Coalition’s inauguration in only December 2022. Find all signatories here.

- An opportunity to publicly signal the willingness of organisations to reform research assessment
