Evaluation and benchmarking
While the European Research and Higher Education Area is emerging, evaluation practices and policies are still very much linked to national traditions and institutional frameworks. ALLEA has been promoting in the past discussions about the necessity to engage at a European level also in terms of quality assurance and evaluation; the ALLEA Working Group Evaluation is producing European protocols for institutional evaluations and tackles the issues of university rankings.
