On June 13, 2025 the Australian Council of Deans and Directors of Creative Arts (DDCA) held a National Forum on the topic of: New designs on research evaluation.
WATCH THE FULL RECORDED SESSION
This 90-minute Forum builds on the work achieved at last year’s event (see Creative Matters Edition 7, 2024) where we began the conversation on what a fit-for-purpose research framework might look like.
This year’s forum takes the conversation further toward a draft set of recommendations for a new framework.
Speakers on the day
1. Introducing framework foundations – Dr Smiljana Glisovic (University of South Australia)
2. Working with data – Professor Cameron Neylon (Curtin University)
3. Indices of ‘excellence’ – Professor Samantha Bennett (Australian National University)
4. Creative / Practice – Professor Christopher Sainsbury (Australian National University)
5. Strategic leadership for influence and legacy – Professor Craig Batty (University of South Australia)
These short presentations set the scene for the robust and productive conversation that followed.
