TORCH (Transforming Open Responsible Research and Innovation through CHARM). TORCH és el braç investigador de la CHARM-EU, una aliança universitària que té l’objectiu d’explorar nous horitzons per a la universitat del futur posant l’accent en les qüestions més urgents: el canvi climàtic, la sostenibilitat, la bretxa de gènere, la inclusió i la igualtat. Com pretenem abordar aquests temes, que ja s’inclouen en l’agenda política de tots els països? El nostre objectiu és oferir un canal flexible i pràctic no només transmetent coneixement científic de la universitat a la societat, sinó també involucrant agents socials. Per construir aquest nou futur que albirem, les universitats hem de facilitar el compromís civil, fomentar la ciència entre la ciutadania i establir un diàleg positiu amb les parts interessades. Aquesta és la missió de TORCH. I, com a punt de partida, en la nostra aliança unim forces per abordar els tres reptes globals de sostenibilitat principals més imminents: aigua, aliments i salut.

TORCH D8.4 - Post-piloting of Strategy/Policies & Common Recommendations Framework
(TORCH Consortium, 2023-12) TORCH Consortium
In this document, we put forward our finalised set of five TORCH strategies/policies. For the sake of clarity, we have adopted the term strategic priority areas (SPAs) to refer to these strategies/policies. Together, they suggest the basis for the common research & innovation (R&I) agenda for the CHARM-EU alliance, as developed through the TORCH project. 1. TORCH SPA1: Working towards reforming research assessment. All of our partner institutions have agreed to follow the CoARA commitments including recognising diverse contributions to research and adopting appropriate modes of evaluations. 2. TORCH SPA2: Fostering equality, diversity and inclusivity. The purpose of this strategic priority area is to outline the principles and proposed actions to promote and champion intersectional gender equality within CHARM-EU, including its R&I dimension as established and further shaped by TORCH. 3. TORCH SPA3: Championing Open Science. Our goal is mainstreaming the principles and promote the practices of Open Science linked with all research-related activities including training, rewards and recognition, and involvement of citizens. 4. TORCH SPA4: Promoting inter/transdisciplinary research driven by societal challenges. The main purpose of this policy is to concretely contribute to the objective of the TORCH project: to have a transdisciplinary and intercultural R&I common agenda for CHARM-EU. 5. TORCH SPA5: Intensifying R&I cooperation between universities. The purpose of this TORCH strategic priority area is to articulate the CHARM-EU Alliance partners commitment and pathway to a structured and collaborative approach that provides a framework for joint and shared R&I-related activities. After this set of five was initially identified as pre-piloting strategies and policies (Deliverable 8.2), they have now been reviewed through the lens of WP9 Action Plans and Pilots and presented here in their final version. The set of five strategic priority areas we present in this deliverable are agreed targets and ambitions. They are necessary for the CHARM-EU Alliance to fully realise its intention to become a full university of the future, with excellent and competitive research as well as research-informed education addressing global challenges. Even as our institutions are unanimous on the need for our continued collaboration in the research dimension, we are faced with major barriers regarding resources. Without a clear road map for competitive external funding geared towards European University Alliances, comparable to the Science with and for Society scheme of Horizon 2020 which engendered TORCH and other similar projects across the landscape of EUA research, we will be limited in terms of long term impact the results of our project can affect. While the member institutions of the Alliance enact such gradual change, at the same time we will proactively investigate future opportunities for external funding. This revision is also accompanied by a set of common recommendations, which have arisen as a result of the work conducted in WP9 as well as discussions that took place in the third annual forum held in Budapest on 24-25 October 2023. These recommendations relate to gaps and opportunities in the interconnected RRI (Responsible Research & Innovation) this project has identified and developed throughout all of our work packages, as highlighted by the pilots and action plans. Our recommendations are as follows, summarised: 1. Fully adopt a long term view. Recognise and openly acknowledge that cultural change and growth will take time. 2. Train, support, incentivise and reward diverse Open Science activities. 3. Facilitate capacity building for researchers. 4. Offer research development as well as research support. 5. Empower, champion and include RMA (Research Management & Administration) colleagues. 6. Treat the Alliance as a vehicle for creating broader connections across the European HE landscape. 7. Champion the alliances’ important roles in research. 8. Institute an equality, diversity and inclusivity framework of monitoring changes on alliance level. 9. Commit to working towards reforming research assessment. 10. Employ known local hubs of interconnected RRI in the process of promoting and growing reforms. 11.Create and maintain a shared research agenda to increase inter/transdisciplinary research and to tackle barriers. 12. Continue targeted activities focused on raising awareness on CHARM-EU and its priorities on the widest possible range of university stakeholders. 13. Tackle ways of integrating Open Science in Research Assessment policies and Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity strategies together with inter/transdisciplinary research. The purpose of the CHARM R&I agenda is to articulate the CHARM-EU Alliance partners’ commitment and pathway to a structured and collaborative approach that provides a framework for joint and shared R&I-related activities. The strategic priority areas apply to the governance and management of the CHARM-EU R&I-related activities, to be undertaken by the TORCH current partners (UB, TCD, UU, ELTE, UM). CHARM-EU new partners (ÅA, JMU, HRW) are invited to take part in forthcoming stages of the Alliance R&I common agenda development. They are aligned with the CHARM-EU institutional cooperation achieved so far via the ERASMUS+ and H2020 projects, as well as the CHARM-EU governance and management model for the Alliance (to be implemented during 2023-2027). The core principles of academic freedom and institutional autonomy of each Alliance partner with regards to their organizational models and administrative regulations, R&I policies and strategy plans, as well as management of human resources, offices and infrastructures, will be promoted and protected. Besides institutional and alliance level, we also wish to extend our learnings externally. Our intention is to share our R&I agenda, particularly the recommendations that have arisen in its development, with other European Universities and ideally with the whole European research, development and innovation ecosystem. The full transformative agenda of CHARM-EU will pursue policy recommendations as one of the main outcomes of the alliance activities, both from the education and the research dimensions in a joint perspective. Our analysis of the transformational modules and their levels of current and potential interconnectivity has given us common ground to construct a common set of recommendations for the alliance and other universities to develop a best practice connected RRI framework which facilitates both research and researcher excellence. Together with the five strategic priority areas, this set of recommendations will be used to identify and pursue goals that will drive CHARM-EU future developments. In order to ensure that our recommendations and future guidelines remain directly relevant to other alliances and institutions, we intend to pay close attention to international ERA-level discussions on related topics and align CHARM-EU policies with them.

TORCH D9.5 - Pilot Final Report
(TORCH Consortium, 2023-12) TORCH Consortium
The purpose of the Pilot year, i.e., the third and final year of the TORCH project was dedicated, on the one hand, to test the joint open, responsible research and innovation (RRI) strategies and policies developed based on the results of the first 15 months of the project when the partners completed scoping exercises. On the other hand, it is also a central aim of the Pilot year to develop Action Plans (see D9.2) and finalise CHARM-EU Alliance-level R&I strategies (see D8.4) to support the collaboration of Alliance members beyond the TORCH project in the coming years. The seven Pilots realised in 2023 are the following ones: 1) Charting current Equality Data collection practices in CHARM-EU institutions – an action of data collection following the request of the evaluation of the Midterm Report of the project; 2) Open Science Rewards and Recognition Toolbox – the first steps of creating a comprehensive toolbox of Open Science rewards and recognition, piloted through one call of a CHARM-EU Open Science Recognition Award; 3) Citizen Science Training – piloting a citizen science training module on institutional level at the University of Barcelona; 4) Open Science Training – piloting an open science training online and in hybrid format in the collaboration of Alliance members, offered to staff members of CHARM-EU; 5) Joint Support Strategy for Research Proposals – supporting research groups in submitting proposals and, by collecting experiences from this process, laying the ground for the long-term RRI collaboration of CHARM-EU, designing a joint research support structure; 6) CHARM-EU Research & Innovation Days – a workshop-format thematic networking and brainstorming event for researchers of CHARM-EU member universities to jointly design research proposals; 7) Creation of a virtual Technology Transfer Offices’ network (TTOs) – linking the TTOs of the member universities and arranging meetings where they define topics of common interest and share experiences and good practices. The aim of the present report is to summarise the results of the Pilots and to provide recommendations to WP8 Strategies and Policies to fine-tune those strategic documents that were drafted before the Piloting period. The structure of the report is fivefold. After an introduction (1), a methodological overview is provided (2) about the process and documentation of piloting. The most extensive section (3) details Pilots. Then (4), the possible ways of continuing of Pilots and the Recommendations to WP8 are listed. Finally (5), a summary of the activities Pilot year is provided with most important events.
TORCH D8.3 - Research Assessment Report
(TORCH Consortium, 2023-12) TORCH Consortium
This report outlines the impacts of implementing a connected RRI strategy on research assessment and provides recommendations on change evaluation. It focuses on SPA1 Working Towards reforming research assessment and more specifically, pays special attention to Rewards and Recognition as a central element in the reform of Research Assessment. It provides background information on the current environment of Research Assessment. It describes Developing a CHARM-EU Research Assessment system as linked with Recognition and Rewards at UU. It then discusses the core elements of a connected RRI in relation to Reform of research assessment, analysing its impacts on different levels and concludes with recommendations for change evaluation. For CHARM-EU and its member universities, reforming research assessment is both a dynamic evolving activity and a prerequisite to advance our collaboration and bring our innovation ideas into practice. Whilst our alliance has entered a new phase with the start of CHARM-EIGHT, the research and innovation dimension addressed by TORCH is coming to its first major milestone with the conclusion of the project, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the work completed and its impact, both intended and unintended, as well as the ramifications for the future. The main objective of this report is to outline the impacts of implementing a connected RRI strategy on research assessment and provide recommendations on change evaluation. This report can contribute to different work packages in CHARM-EIGHT, such as those directed toward professional development and rewarding excellence in teaching or the work towards a transdisciplinary and team-oriented doctoral programme. As described in D8.4, the second half of TORCH is characterized by an integrative approach focusing on the identification and development of five strategic priority areas (SPAs). One of these is Working Towards the Reform of Research Assessment, which includes rewards, recognition and human resource strategies in relation to research assessment. Given the timeframe in TORCH, the complexity of the Reform of Research Assessment and the establishment of a large coalition to prepare and share reform approaches and experiences, we decided not to pilot Research Assessment within the project timeline. Instead, this topic is addressed in a proposed action plan (see Description of AP1 in Deliverable 9.2) to be carried out at an appropriate time. This report focuses on SPA1 Working Towards reforming research assessment - and more specifically, pays special attention to Rewards and Recognition as a central element in the reform of Research Assessment. Our work in previous work packages and deliverables (specifically D8.1) has identified the area of recruitment and promotion of staff as being one of the central hubs of interconnected RRI, which is at the core of new Rewards and Recognition practices. At this, our approach is primarily informed by the implementation of innovative practices at Utrecht University, one of the TORCH and CHARM partners, and the member institution with the largest amount of work already conducted on research assessment reform. As a Dutch university, UU is part of a national process to reform rewards and recognition processes. UU is actively advancing this field and is in a natural and logical position to share its experiences and expertise with the alliance partners. UU is also highlighted as an example of best practice in the LERU Position Paper on Research Assessment and by the authors of the mid-term review of TORCH. We have found that our existing practices to recognize and nurture RRI practices are still fragmented, and existing recognition and reward structures overall still form a source of disincentives to engage with RRI. For research assessment this means we identify a clear need to screen and uncover where recognition and rewards structures in fact function as disincentives to RRI and what changes could be made to make these structures more suited to facilitate RRI. One aim of Research assessment should thus lie in actively encouraging RRI activities (such as by recognizing a broader set of contributions) by recognizing them as relevant activities for researchers and ideally by providing career paths for researchers who excel at such activities. Furthermore, our CHARM alliance could help provide a community of like-minded researchers with opportunities to exchange experiences. To help overcome the fragmentation of existing initiatives, a long-term vision and commitment to develop institutional support for transdisciplinary science and public engagement are needed. Research assessment reforms have stressed the need for more team-based evaluation approaches, which could be a valuable step in addressing fragmentation. All five TORCH partners have signed the CoARA agreement and have thus committed themselves to implement relevant organizational changes and share practices towards a reform of research assessment. Beyond this, our alliance is inspired by the commitments and principles spelled out in CoARA. After discussing this suggestion and weighing the different options to design, launch, implement and evaluate pilot actions, the TORCH PMT decided that rather than developing piloting activities on research assessment, it was advisable to define a strategy, an action plan. We recognised that the final phase of the TORCH project coincided directly with the rapid development of CoARA and we considered it better to delay our piloting activities until the basic elements of CoARA became clearer.
