For higher education, the introduction of generative AI means more than just technical and procedural adjustments; it touches on the very heart of academic thinking and requires a fundamental re-evaluation of positions.
What are the characteristics of excellent research, and how do the CoARA criteria promote excellence? The CoARA German National Chapter has published a report on a workshop entitled ‘Promoting excellence through research assessessmen reforms’.
The statement sets out recommendations for the responsible conduct of research in collaboration with non-academic stakeholders. It was adopted at the 8th World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI) in Athens.
Papers on topics such as AI and good academic practice and dealing with the media from the symposium “Ombudsarbeit im Spannungsfeld zwischen Vertraulichkeit und Öffentlichkeit”, 19–20 February 2026 by OWID are now available online.
