The partners of the PESHES project visited the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Universitat Politècnica de València – UPV), from September 18 to 22, 2018. This visit was organized in coordination of the UPV and the University of Belgrade as the project leading institution.
Main topics of the study visit were the data acquisition and multidimensional ranking of study programs and institutions, the key performance indicators (KPI) in higher education, performance based evaluation (data and funding), data and judgment in Spanish quality assurance and performance based funding in Spain.
