Assessment of the teaching staff
People interested in being admitted to the selection processes for hiring as contracted faculty at public universities in Catalonia must hold accreditation for associate professor (research accreditation, according to Law 1/2003) and for full professor (advanced research accreditation, according to Law 1/2003). This evaluation is carried out by the Research Evaluation Commission and its specific committees.
AQU Catalunya also collaborates with the Serra Húnter Programme and conducts the Report on Non-Permanent Contracted Faculty under the Serra Húnter Plan so that tenure-eligible lecturers hired under this program can be appointed as associate professors.
Currently, AQU Catalunya does not have any open calls for faculty accreditation issuance. Accreditation will be available on a permanent basis starting April 1, 2025, under the new accreditation criteria.
