The Alliance of Science Organisations in Germany acknowledged the joint efforts of hundreds of academic organisations in Europe and beyond to advocate for responsible and quality-oriented research assessment. This engagement is particularly reflected in the involvement in the European Commission's initiative "Towards an agreement on research evaluation reform" as part of the European Research Area (ERA) policy agenda.

The Alliance, represented by its members DFG and Helmholtz, is participating in the core group advising the European Commission's initiative to reform research assessment. ACA member DAAD sees this initiative as an opportunity to deepen the common understanding of the principles and values of responsible research assessment and to strengthen the exchange of best practices among the many research-related stakeholders that make up the ERA.
