Assessing the Quality of Research and Third Mission

The Ministry of University and Research (MUR) is responsible for monitoring the quality and impact of scientific research across the full academic spectrum within Italy’s higher education.   

The National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR) is the MUR’s agency for assessing the excellence of research in Italian higher education institutions. The ANVUR evaluates the quality and impact of research in Italian higher education institutions, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of public funding and incentives programs for research and innovation. 

Also, the Macerata University conducts internal periodic evaluation adopting transparent criteria to ensure a fair and deserving distribution of research resources across all departments. Annual reports and programmatic guidelines are also promulgated.
