A quarterly publication of AQU Catalunya
Jaume Valls Pasola, director of AQU Catalunya
The expectation is that the new accreditations for lecturers and full professors with an indefinite-term contract will be launched from the beginning of January 2025.
As in so many other areas of society, artificial intelligence (AI) can also become a golden opportunity to rethink the way we approach the challenges of quality assessment in universities. Recently, AQU Catalunya has carried out a piece of pioneering research in this field, which explores the use of AI in external quality assessment processes.
These guides can play a prominent role as tools that will help us move towards a future where the universities in our system can carry out their validation processes with maximum independence and autonomy.
These years of activity have seen significant transformations and debates on how best to assess research. Thus, in addition to assessing a lecturer's research activity, other areas of their previous activities and experience, such as knowledge transfer, professional expertise and, particularly, teaching skills, must be assessed.
Industrial doctorates are an example of a public policy that establishes shared bases between the spheres of higher education, research and innovation, and companies and institutions, to promote the knowledge society.
