The topic of the workshop is the future of scholarly assessment  
approaches, including organizational, infrastructural, and community  
issues. The overall goal is to identify requirements for novel  
assessment approaches, several of which have been proposed in recent  
years, to become acceptable to community stakeholders including  
scholars, academic and research institutions, and funding agencies.  
The impressive group of speakers and panelists for the workshop
