This workshop will be an interactive exploration of how narrative CVs are contributing (or are not yet contributing) to the aims and goals of recognition and rewards initiatives, guided by a team with experience in research, funding, and policy. The workshop will include an interactive presentation, showcasing the history, outcomes of current use, and potential for impact on research culture. The audience will be invited to give immediate feedback and other input during the presentation using online participation tools. After the presentation will be a guided and moderated discussion in smaller groups, focusing on the perspective of those involved in research around the potential and actual impact of narrative CVs on recognition and rewards, as well as their ability to shift research culture. These discussions fed back to the group at the end of the session, and recorded in a workshop report that will be published openly for the research community through the CoARA toolbox.

Hi all - the results of the Narrative CV feedback survey that were shown in this meeting are now available: http://www.fnr.lu/narrativecv
@rinzebenedictus, @leonievandrooge, @hoogstraat, @siccodeknecht, @lisemoawad, @marionstolp, @karenstroobants, @esthervleugel, maybe you like to know about @seansapcariu's survey results!
Here you can read a summary of the workshop (with thanks to the reporter for making it):
The workshop started with short presentations from the speakers, highlighting the international perspectives on the narrative CV, and also zooming in on the perspectives from CoARA, FNR and Science Europe. We then had an open discussion guided by a few questions that were posted by the speakers. One of those questions was how our institutions implemented narrative CV’s and what the goal or idea behind the reason for implementation was. Discussing these motives from different perspectives was really useful for figuring out both where are differences and similarities lie, and which differences and similarities we found with regards to the challenges that the implementation brought along. Furthermore it was really productive to hear different experiences with the narrative formats, whether it was from policy officers, researchers that had worked with the format or the people responsible for implementing them. Overall it was a very useful workshop and great way to share ideas and experiences.
What are the main take aways of this session?
That the narrative CV is the right way forward but that we need to keep conversations with researchers and institutions going to ensure we keep moving in the right direction.
