Reports and synthesis

Each evaluation organised by Hcéres ends with the publication of a report accompanied by the comments of the evaluated entity. These publicly available reports provide an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated entity, combined with recommendations formulated by the panel of experts.

For each cluster, these evaluations also lead to the production of summaries (research units, study programmes, doctoral schools), which are amalgamated in an integrated evaluation report.

Types of evaluation reports

Hcéres publishes different types of reports:

  • evaluation reports for clusters of higher education and research institutions ;
  • evaluation reports for institutions/bodies ;
  • evaluation reports (overviews) for research entities ;
  • evaluation reports for fields of study (reviews): reports comprising an evaluation of fields and the evaluation sheets for their constituent study programmes (current provision) ;
  • evaluation reports for fields of study (development plans): reports comprising an evaluation of fields and the evaluation sheets for their constituent study programmes (future provision) ;
  • evaluation reports for doctoral schools. 
  • View all published reports.

Until the 2017-2018 evaluation campaign (Group D), an evaluation report was published for each study programme evaluated (bachelor’s degrees, vocational bachelor’s degrees, bachelor’s degree-level qualifications, master’s degrees, master’s degree-level qualifications).

Evaluation synthesis reports and integrated evaluation reports

Evaluations relating to research units, study programmes and doctoral schools are consolidated at the cluster level in the synthesis reports, which, in turn, are integrated into a final synthesis document which highlights the main strengths of the grouping of institutions that improve the quality of its management.

The evaluation of each cluster is completed by the production of an integrated evaluation report, combining:

  • the final integrated evaluation synthesis report ;
  • the evaluation synthesis report for study programmes and doctoral schools ;
  • the evaluation synthesis report for research units ;
  • appendices including a description of the methodology used by Hcéres to evaluate the cluster and key statistics.
