The Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, 2022) addresses the assessment of researchers, research proposals, and research performing organizations and units. Our contribution is relevant for the assessment of units within organizations. We describe how the main principles and requirements of the Agreement have inspired a new institutional-level framework at Aalborg University (DK) with the aim to deliver data, statistics, and indicators to support internal strategic development, research assessment and resource allocation. The framework was designed on request from the rectorate and in collaboration with the deans of the four faculties with feedback from their project steering group and the university’s representative bodies.
