Third Mission / Impact - Third Mission and Societal Impact of Universities and Research Institutes

By the introduction of the national system of quality assurance for universities Self-Assessment, Periodic Evaluation and Accreditation System AVA in 2013, Third Mission has been officially included among the institutional activities of academic institutions, alongside teaching and research. Indicators and parameters for Third Mission assessment have been increased and modified and taken into account for the accreditation of Institutions. 

ANVUR has also published a Manual for the evaluation of Third Mission  defining methodology and evaluation procedures (phases, criteria, indicators and evaluative questions). The Manual has benefitted from the expertise of prominent international reviewers and from a public consultation. 

For more information on ANVUR activities on Third Mission and Impact evaluation, please browse the Third Mission/Impact webpage and/or the Events and Presentations archive.
