Quality and Evaluation

Evaluation of the Quality of Research (VQR)

In recent years, research evaluation has become a strategic and increasingly important tool for measuring the quality of universities, proportionally affecting the distribution of resources and the allocation of staff points by the Ministry.

The Ministry of Education, University and Research has entrusted ANVUR (Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the Universities and Research Institutes) the task of assessment, based on the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Research (DM June 27th 2015 n. 458).

Research Ethics Commission 

With Rector's Decree n. 449/2016, the University Research Ethics Commission was set up to provide opinions on research ethics and integrity, as defined at a supranational level by documents such as The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
