Decision period extended: research merits of PDI in public and private universities and affiliated centres
The deadline for decisions on applications for the 2nd call for assessment of the research activity of teaching and research staff in public and private universities and affiliated centres has been extended
The AQU Catalunya Research Assessment Committee has agreed to extend until 31 March 2021 decisions on evaluations of the research activity of teaching and research staff included in the 2nd call for teaching and research staff in public universities and the call for private universities and affiliated centres.
The delay is due to the coincidence of the aforementioned calls with the periods of resumption of measures to contain the epidemic outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Catalonia. This circumstance has affected some applicants who have not been able to provide documentation proving compliance with the requirements for application to the call for research activity assessment. Therefore, the Agency's administrative review phase, prior to the assessment phase, has been delayed.
However, the vast majority of applications will be resolved by December 2020 and only a part, corresponding to the field of Social Sciences, will remain undecided.
