Best grade for MENDELU in Module 1 so far The creative activity of research organizations, including universities, is evaluated according to Methodology 17+, which was updated this year to Methodology 25+. Module 1 is a key component of this methodology as it evaluates results that the university itself picks as its best results and which it submits to expert panels for peer review by remote reviewers. The contribution to knowledge in the given field (for basic research) and social relevance (benefit to society, applicability, commercial potential) are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being the best and 5 the worst. In the H24 evaluation published here, our University received six 1 grades (3 FA, 1 FFWT, 1 FBE, 1 FH), ten 2 grades (4 FA, 3 FFWT, 3 FH), and nine grades of good (3 FA, 1 FFWT, 2 FBE, 1 FH, 2 FRDIS), which is considered a good result with demonstrable national application. Evaluation in Module 1 is a key part of evaluations, especially for universities. Evaluation in the higher education segment and subsequent classification into categories A, B, C, and D are based on the report of the international evaluation panel (MEP) and the outputs of the national evaluation in Module 1 – Quality of Selected Results, and Module 2 – Annotated Statistics (Bibliometrics)
