This report and the accompanying online repository (https://sfdora.org/dora-case-studies/) bring together and analyse case studies in responsible academic career assessment. The case studies are intended to serve as inspiration for institutions planning to become or already engaged in a complex review process, and to provide potential pathways of change. Two types of case studies are included in this report and (at the time of launch) the online repository. The majority of cases relate to institutional-level policies and practices. Each of these was developed through a unique and ongoing interplay of internal drivers and external pressures. As such, they show a wide range of characteristics in how to approach one shared objective: making academic career assessment at their institution more responsible. Seven institutional-level cases are included in this report: (1) Ghent University (Belgium); (2) Open University of Catalonia (Catalonia); (3) University of Bath (United Kingdom); (4) University College London (United Kingdom); (5) University Medical Center Utrecht (The Netherlands); (6) University of Nottingham Ningbo China (People's Republic of China); and (7) Tampere University (Finland). Three national-level cases are also included: (1) The Dutch Recognition & Rewards Programme (The Netherlands); (2) Responsible Research Network, Finland (Finland); and (3) Universities Norway (Norway).
