Updates of July 15, 2016
ANVUR Proposal for ASN 2016 Threshold Values
ASN Communication for Presidents of 07/12/2016

Updates of July 25, 2016
Opinion expressed by the CUN regarding the ANVUR proposal of threshold values for ASN 2016. Following the urgent document, an extraordinary session was held to delve into the critical issues of the proposal and analyze additional data received from ANVUR regarding the scientific production of researchers and professors. Based on this, we formulated the opinion expressing strong concern about the distorting effects and the risk of disputes of the methodology applied by ANVUR and propose to identify thresholds that allow broadening the pool of aspiring commissioners and selecting professors based on the indicator values achieved by the vast majority of full professors for first-tier candidates and by an even larger majority of associate professors for second-tier candidates.
