For Experts
You were invited to act as an expert for an evaluation at the University of Zurich. What does this mean for you?
|
How were you chosen? The unit under evaluation proposes potential experts based on a predetermined set of criteria. The Evaluation Office checks and prioritizes the proposals (e.g., to minimize the potential of biases); finally, the invitees are selected by the Faculty Council or/and the Executive Board of the University.

Preparing for the Site Visit |
|
|
During the Site Visit At the start of the site visit, the Faculty Council and/or a member of the UZH Executive Board as well as potentially the Director Research and Education USZ presents the unit under evaluation and its context. The head of the Evaluation Office briefly covers the evaluation procedure. In the following days, you hold a number of discussions with the head, staff and potentially other stakeholders of the unit you were invited to evaluate. How the discussions are designed and conducted is up to you. At the end of the site visit, you orally present the key findings of your assessment to the members of the unit under evaluation. You subsequently inform the Evaluation Office and the corresponding governing body in a separate discussion. |
