Reports and synthesis

Each evaluation organised by Hcéres ends with the publication of a report accompanied by the comments of the evaluated entity. These publicly available reports provide an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated entity, combined with recommendations formulated by the panel of experts. For each cluster, these evaluations also lead to the production of summaries (research units, study programmes, doctoral schools), which are amalgamated in an integrated evaluation report.

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.
