What is a site visit?

Site visit is, together with research indicators, self-evaluation report of a unit, peer review and bibliometric analysis, one of the evaluation tools used to assess the quality of scientific, research, development, innovative, artistic or other creative activities at Charles University.

How does site visit take place?

In order to complement the information required for assessment of the quality of a field, research area, or unit the Expert Panel or Research Evaluation Board may request a site visit which takes place only after the outcomes of individual evaluation tools are ready.

The request for site visit includes the information on the components and content of the meeting and additional required materials, if any, and is sent with sufficient advance, usually one month before the meeting is to take place, so that the relevant unit may prepare for the meeting.

The minutes of the meeting are drafted , and after their approval by both parties involved they are saved in the IS Veda system.
