DIVERSE+ is a project under the CoARA Second Boost call. The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) is a collective of organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes by which research, researchers, and research organisations are evaluated. Current research assessment methods rely heavily on publication-based metrics such as citation counts and often fail to recognise the wide array of contributions made by researchers.

The DIVERSE+ project's impact lies in piloting a structured scheme for exchanging practices in new forms of research evaluation. Its focus is twofold: recognising the diversity of research contributions and promoting assessment approaches based on qualitative evaluation rather than narrow metrics.

DIVERSE+ seeks to empower institutions, enrich academic careers, and create lasting impact by valuing the full spectrum of contributions that drive science and society forward.
