Evaluation Unit

The Evaluation Unit is the body responsible for assessment functions relating to research, teaching, the right to study, and administrative management.

The Evaluation Units (NdV) of AFAM Institutions operate with full respect for their autonomy as internal Quality Assurance bodies. In this context, the Unit produces an annual report on the activities of the AFAM Institution, which is a key tool to:

  • trigger more informed improvement processes within Institutions, based on internal Quality Assurance processes managed by the Unit and resulting from its interaction with the various governance and management bodies of each AFAM Institution;
  • enable ANVUR to carry out an external Quality assessment based on self-evaluation parameters adopted by all AFAM Institutions.
