Evaluation campaigns

The evaluation campaigns are run by Hcéres on a five years frequency. In this way, the adopted schedule is compatible with the requirements of the State’s contractual policy, which divides the institutions concerned into five geographical areas referred to as groups A, B, C, D and E.

Used as a tool for dialogue between the State and the institution, the evaluation conducted by Hcéres takes place prior to the signature of the multi-annual contract that defines the institution’s strategic orientations and development plans for a five-year period.

Breakdown of Groups

Group A covers institutions in the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes and Occitanie regions.
Group B covers institutions in the Brittany, Normandy, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Pays-de-la-Loire and Overseas (Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique) regions.
Group C covers institutions in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Corsica, Grand-Est, Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’Azur and Overseas (New Caledonia and French Polynesia) regions.
Group D covers institutions in Paris.
Group E covers institutions in the Ile-de-France (excluding Paris), Hauts-de-France and Overseas (Reunion and Mayotte) regions.
