2. Context and General Framework
- Under Indicator No. 1 of the ESRIM programme, the Agency is carrying out institutional evaluations of higher education institutions in accordance with its 2025 work programme.
- In line with the National Digital Transition Strategy 2030, which aims to make digitalisation a driver of socioeconomic development, higher education and research institutions in science and technology that had not previously undergone an institutional evaluation were selected.
- Institutional evaluation is based on a self-evaluation conducted by each institution using the National Reference Framework for Evaluation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education and the Self-Evaluation Guide.
- The Agency organises training meetings for those appointed to chair the committees responsible for preparing self-evaluation reports at each institution and supports the institutions throughout the stages of the process.
3. Launch of the Process
On 13 February 2025, the Ministry sent a letter to university presidents concerning the Agency’s evaluation of institutions during 2025. The letter included the list of higher education institutions concerned by the institutional evaluation and called on the heads of the relevant university institutions to participate fully in the process.
