Summary/Abstract: I review the main points of the Agreement on reforming research assessment (ARRA), which calls for basing research assessment primarily on qualitative criteria, with metrics having only a supportive role. I outline the relevance of these principles in Hungarian academia, and I present a case study on how the Global Young Academy (GYA), an organization of young researchers, has put the ARRA principles into practice both in its call for new members and in its instructions for reviewers. Finally, I make recommendations on which aspects of the GYA’s good practices could be adopted in Hungary, especially when it comes to evaluating researchers and their previous results in the context of grant proposal assessments.
