DEFINE Thematic Report: Funding for Excellence
Entitled ‘Funding for excellence’, it is the first in a series of three thematic reports that outline many of the key findings of the EUA-led DEFINE project, which analyses the impact of funding efficiency measures on universities (the other two reports focus on mergers/concentration measures and performance-based funding). The report takes into account excellence schemes that have been introduced in different countries across Europe but looked more closely at 10 schemes. It also includes a series of project recommendations for policy makers and higher education institutions which are based on data collection, case studies, site visits and focus groups which have been carried out/collected in the framework of the DEFINE project.
