The different approaches on peer review applied by Italian Institutions within the European scenario/agenda will be discussed in Rome on 14 Septembre 2011.
The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), the European Science Foundation (ESF), and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), joined forces to organise a conference on peer review.
In particular, they aim at presenting and discussing the recently published European Peer Review Guide, which is the product of a common effort between more than 30 national research funding and performing organisations from 23 countries, the European Science Foundation (ESF), the European Research Council (ERC), the European Commission and the Research Executive Agency (REA). The European Peer Review Guide draws a European and international good practice in peer review processes, and seeks to promote a measure of coherence and effectiveness in the form of a practical reference document at the European level. The Guide is based on a comprehensive survey, the ESF Survey Analysis Report on Peer Review Practices, which benchmarked and identified good practice amongst the many different systems and criteria currently in use in European countries. The Rome conference is an important occasion to discuss the different approaches on peer review applied by Italian Institutions within the European scenario/agenda.
