RESSH2025 Conference – Research evaluation in SSH

When: 19-21 May 2025

Where: Helsinki, Finland

Deadline for submissions: 7 February 2025

The RESSH 2025 Conference (Research Evaluation in the SSH – Social Sciences and Humanities), organized by the ENRESSH (European Network for Research Evaluation in the SSH), focuses on the evaluation of research and scholarly outputs in the social sciences and humanities and the arts (SSH).

The conference will address the transformation of research assessment to better reflect the specific characteristics of the SSH, emphasizing the diversity of research outputs and interdisciplinarity. Topics such as open science, sustainability, and societal impact of research will also be considered.

Participants are invited to submit papers and posters exploring these issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Potential topics include the diversity in research contributions, qualitative approaches and peer review, and new assessment methods beyond the impact factor. Contributions related to the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), which the Czech Academy of Sciences joined in 2022 by signing the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment (ARRA), are also welcome.

The deadline for abstract submission is February 7, 2025. More information about the conference can be found here.
