Internal Review for Renewal Assessment: revised Action plan
Each action point outlined in the action plan (pdf) is linked to action plans at the institutional and faculty levels, with corresponding responsible parties.
The action plan will initiate essential internal processes to reach the targets for the action points within their estimated deadlines. Annual quality reporting will follow up on the action points.
It's important to note that these actions will be an ongoing process, and quality development should be continuous.
The UiA Action Plan remains the key document used to evaluate and implement actions in all necessary strategic plans, to become a daily practice at UiA.
UiA's HRS4R Implementation Team
The "UiA HRS4R Implementation Team" is led by the Research and Innovation department and consists of members from the HR department.
A diverse group of stakeholders, including the Vice Rector, Director of Research and Innovation, HR Director, researchers, and academic staff, have contributed information and provided feedback on the reports.
The action points and principles have been effectively communicated in various forums within the institution and have been recognized by senior management as a crucial component of UiA's internationalization strategy.
