Accreditation for associate professors
The processes of accreditation for associate professors (research accreditation, according to Law 1/2003 of 19 February) and full professors (advanced research accreditation, according to Law 1/2003 of 19 February) certify the attainment of a minimum threshold of quality and experience in research activities, knowledge transfer, teaching and, where appropriate, scientific leadership and managerial skills. These accreditations allow candidates to apply, through competitive selection processes, for positions as associate professors and full professors at Catalan public universities.
Previous research and advanced research accreditations issued by the Research Assessment Commission (CAR) remain valid for access to associate professor and full professor positions.
