DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Pamela Abbott (Information School | The University o
 f Sheffield)\, Omo Oaiya (WACREN)\n\n\nAbout the Workshop\nThis workshop o
 pens a new strand of LIBSENSE work on Responsible Research Governance (RRG
 ): what it means to govern research responsibly within African institution
 s\, beyond how research is made open or how it is assessed.\nGovernance pr
 ovides the structural framework and rules under which research happens\, i
 ncluding how it is assessed. LIBSENSE's recent work on Responsible Researc
 h Assessment (RRA) shows this directly: assessment reform depends on insti
 tutional governance that actively supports fair evaluation cultures\, not 
 governance that leaves metric-driven pressures unchecked. RRG names that w
 ider frame and extends it beyond assessment to the institutional\, ethical
  and infrastructural conditions under which research as a whole is conceiv
 ed\, conducted and shared.\nFour areas have been identified as a starting 
 point for discussion: research data governance\, research ethics and care\
 , the responsible use of generative AI\, and institutional research practi
 ce. These are offered as opening questions. This workshop is where they wi
 ll be tested\, and where participants will determine whether they should b
 e reshaped\, extended\, or reconsidered.\nThe workshop also marks an early
  point of engagement with the research administrator community\, whose rol
 e in institutional governance is central to how responsible research pract
 ice takes hold.\nSee "Workshop Details" in the menu for objectives and who
  should attend.\nRegistration deadline: October 30\, 2026\n\nhttps://indic
