Academion supervises many research evaluations according to the Strategy Evaluation Protocol (SEP). We are well-versed in the methodology and philosophy of the SEP and will help you conduct the evaluation properly. We ask our committees to adopt a constructive tone. We provide them with comprehensive information about the Dutch research context, paying attention to discussions about recognition and rewards and the specific context of your research unit. We emphasise responsible research evaluation: we measure research quality not only in terms of impact or number of publications, but also in terms of a diversity of scientific output with added value for colleagues and society.
We are happy to help you prepare for the evaluation. For example, we can advise you on the use of narrative versus quantitative data, or the choice of quality indicators relevant to your institute or department. We are happy to help you clearly describe your research and highlight your strategy and vision. In this way, we ensure an evaluation with added value.
