We will run an informative and interactive session, aimed at discussing the necessity of rewarding Open Science activities. The discussion will be based on  the results of a survey conducted by some members of the RDA-SHARC IG. The objectives will be:

• To discuss preliminary results of the survey addressing awareness of Open Science activities and existing & expected reward systems in research assessment, in particular for sharing activities, in different contexts.

• To fuel the discussion conducted as part of the EC’s Coalition on reforming research assessment.

• To help feed future SHARC recommendations.
