Monday 15 May 2024, at 10.00 am in the Aula Magna "A. Quistelli", an information meeting entitled "Accreditamento degli Atenei e modello AVA3 " , University Accreditation and the AVA3 model, will be held.The event is organized by the Agenzia Nazionale per la Valutazione delle Università e della Ricerca (Anvur) National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research , in collaboration with the Università degli Studi Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria.

The seminar concerns the recent update of the evaluation system of Italian universities and is addressed in particular to the members of the University's Quality Control Units and Evaluation Units, to the Directors of the Departments, to the Delegates, to the Coordinators of the doctoral programs, of the courses degree and the commissions at various academic levels established, to all university staff, both teaching and non-teaching in various capacities involved.

The system Autovalutazione, Valutazione, Accreditamento (AVA) Self-Assessment, Evaluation, Accreditation system , constitutes an integrated methodology for the evaluation and accreditation of the university system and has the aim of improving the quality of teaching and research carried out in universities. Activated since 2013, it is based on the application of a Quality Assurance (QA) model in universities, study courses, departments and research doctorates. This approach is based on internal procedures for planning, management, self-evaluation and improvement of teaching, training and scientific, research and social impact activities, integrated by an external verification carried out in a clear, rigorous and transparent manner.

Through this model, evaluation does not constitute a simple bureaucratic requirement but a means of promoting quality in the university system. In the general economy of the academic community's actions, it presents itself as an opportunity to highlight strengths, correct any gaps and compete effectively in the national and international context.

Authoritative interventions are expected from the National President of ANVUR, Prof. Antonio Felice URICCHIO, from the Member of the ANVUR Board of Directors, Prof. Massimo TRONCI and from the Manager of the Evaluation Area of Higher Education Institutions, Dr. Alessio ANCAIANI.
