<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>I’m writing to share an invitation from DORA (<a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/D8zgC6XQ4Lf1ZooJntpf5T5810R?domain=sfdora.org" target="_blank">sfdora.org</a>), the global initiative that
campaigns for and supports the reform of research(er) assessment
practices, of which I'm proud to be a Steering Committee member.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>DORA is beginning work on its 2027-2030 Strategic Plan and
invites the research community to share their perspectives
through <a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/c6G5C71R2NTQnmmYOCWh1TofCPN?domain=bit.ly">a
short, global survey</a>. The goal is to understand what is
working, where challenges persist, and where DORA can be most
useful in supporting responsible research assessment across
different contexts.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>The survey is open to anyone involved or interested in
research assessment reform, including researchers, institutional
leaders, funders, publishers, research managers, and policy
actors. Responses can be submitted as an individual or on behalf
of an organisation. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to
complete, and is open until 30 April 2026.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>You can access the survey here:<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/c6G5C71R2NTQnmmYOCWh1TofCPN?domain=bit.ly" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/DORA-Survey-2026</a>. You can
read more about the survey in the blogpost: <a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/nOAvC81V0PTzBjjg7F2iQTy_RCP?domain=sfdora.org/" target="_blank">https://sfdora.org/2026/04/01/dora-survey/</a>. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>I encourage you (and others in your organisation or network)
to take part, as community input will directly inform DORA’s
priorities and activities for the next three years.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Richard de Grijs</div>
