Board of Internal Evaluation (BIE)

Dear members of the Board of Internal Evaluation,

Internal evaluation of the science and doctoral programmes is part of the evaluation activities at MU. The aim is to provide the units with feedback on the quality of research and doctoral studies and support their research strategies and decision-making. In 2022, this evaluation is taking place for the first time and aims to:

• identify successful research topics and topics with good prospects;
• assess the quality of research and doctoral programmes (DDPs) in an international context at a more detailed level than M17+ (departments instead of faculties);
• develop a sustainable and meaningful internal evaluation model that could inspire institutions outside MU;
• obtain information for R&D management, PhD programmes, managerial decision-making and development of economic units’ internal strategies;
• map research performance at the level of disciplines and economic units.

Participation of BIE in the entire evaluation is crucial - your main task is to ensure that the internal evaluation process of the DDPs is properly implemented so that the outputs of this evaluation can be used for the subsequent accreditation process of doctoral study programmes.
You will participate in on-site visits of the individual evaluation panels. There will then be an ongoing reflection on each on-site visit at the BIE meetings (with a report from the BIE members who attended the OSV). This reflection will be recorded in the minutes of the BIE.

Once the evaluation is completed, you will monitor how the study programmes have responded to it and whether they are actively working with the results and recommendations.
