Processing of research merit assessment procedures updated and simplified
From 2022 onwards, we are simplifying the assessment application process by differentiating between assessment and recognition procedures and introducing more modern multi-device forms.

Starting in 2022, people requesting AQU Catalunya assessment of teaching staff research merits will find the process easier thanks to two new features.
- First, the process is being simplified by distinguishing between applications for research merit assessment and those for research merit recognition handled by the National Research Activity Assessment Committee (CNEAI) and by the Agency itself – this is the case, for example, of research teaching staff (PDI) at a private university who move to a public university.
- The second is the incorporation of a new multi-device forms based on HTML technology for submission of the online application through the gencat.cat Procedures portal. This allows you to view and complete the application from any device without having to download a program. Not only that, the content of the form is adapted according to the answers given by the applicant and fields are pre-filled with the data about the person that is already on record.
