Specialisation Schools (ref. 2017)
To verify the existence of minimum levels related to the research capabilities of the teaching committees of Specialisation Schools, an indicator called “ASN” is used. The indicator is obtained by averaging over Full Professors (first-tier), Associate Professors (second-tier) and Researchers who carry out teaching activities in the specific disciplinary sectors. The indicator “A” takes into account the overall scientific production.
INDICATOR A ASSUMES VALUES OF 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 FOR EACH TEACHER, DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE TEACHER, AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE, EXCEEDS 0, 1, 2, OR 3 THRESHOLD VALUES RESPECTIVELY, RELATED TO THEIR REFERENCE TIER, CALCULATED FOR THE REFERENCE DISCIPLINARY SECTOR.
THE THRESHOLD VALUES FOR EACH TIER ARE AS FOLLOWS:
» FOR FIRST-TIER PROFESSORS, THOSE RELATED TO EXAMINERS;
» FOR SECOND-TIER PROFESSORS, THOSE RELATED TO FULL PROFESSORS;
» FOR RESEARCHERS, THOSE RELATED TO ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS.
MINIMUM LEVELS RELATED TO RESEARCH CAPABILITIES WILL BE CONSIDERED SATISFIED IF THE ASN INDICATOR FOR THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.7.
