Evaluation of the university sector 2009
Aarhus University's response to the international evaluation panel's report
On Tuesday 19 January 2010, Aarhus University submitted its response to the international evaluation panel’s report. The response draws on a range of internal responses from the main academic areas at the university. All of the relevant documents can be found in the right-hand menu.
Along with a number of responses, the international evaluation panel's report will serve as a resource in coming political discussions and negotiations on university policy.
The Danish Government recently decided to conduct an evaluation of the university area. This is partly in the light of the mergers that took place in recent years, and also because of the University Act of 2003, with changes to the forms of management (from elected to appointed management and the introduction of boards with “external” members). In this connection, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation requested the universities to provide their input. The evaluation itself will be undertaken by an international panel appointed by the Ministry. The universities’ input regarding topic A-D was submitted to the Ministry on 22 April 2009 and the input regarding topic E was submitted on 25 May 2009.
