As of July 2, 2024, the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University has joined 760 other organizations worldwide that have committed to promoting responsible research evaluation.

This initiative is implemented through the Horizon project “EDUC-WIDE” (Enhancing EDUC for Inclusive ERA Development), one of the objectives of which is to support and monitor the implementation of the EDUC research evaluation reform strategy, raise awareness among researchers and senior managers about research evaluation reform, and contribute to the improvement of national research evaluation policies in developing countries.

The CoARA agreement aims to promote best practices in research evaluation, encourage the use of both qualitative and quantitative indicators, and ensure fair and equitable evaluations.

By signing this agreement, we commit to high standards of research quality and impact, to foster diverse and inclusive scientific communities, to promote collaboration and openness in scientific research, and to ensure responsible and ethical evaluation of scientific results.

We are confident that these principles will not only improve the quality of research at our university,  but also contribute to the global scientific community.
