Vice-Chancellor’s seminar: Research evaluation – what and why?

Research is evaluated in various ways and with differing focus, both by external actors and in self-initiated evaluations at Uppsala University. The seminar will provide an orientation in the overall research evaluation landscape and an in-depth look at the University’s own research evaluation Quality and Renewal 2024 (Q&R24). What is evaluated and why? How can the evaluations be made as meaningful as possible in relation to the effort involved?

Coffee will be served at 14:30. The seminar starts at 14:45. No prior registration.
