The METHODOLOGY 2017+ is designed to gather information for quality management in science and research within the Czech Republic, and it plays a crucial role in guiding the distribution of institutional support for the long-term conceptual development of organizations.
Unlike previous evaluations, where a certain number of points were assigned to the institution for each type of scientific result, the Methodology 2017+ primarily aims to consider the quality of scientific results and the entire institution.
The evaluation is divided into five modules:
The evaluation process for modules 1 and 2 occurs annually, overseen by the Research, Development and Innovation Council. In contrast, the evaluation for modules 3 to 5 is conducted every five years by the provider, which, in the case of BUT, is the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. An International Evaluation Panel, primarily composed of foreign experts, carries out this evaluation.
The comprehensive evaluation across all modules follows a five-year cycle, resulting in the classification of research organizations on a four-level scale. This classification is determined during a tripartite meeting involving the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the Research, Development and Innovation Council, and the Czech Rectors Conference. The classification is based on the results from the annual evaluations of modules 1 and 2, where a commission—comprising representatives from the provider, the Research, Development and Innovation Council, Development and Innovation, and (vice)chairs of the panels—proposes the final scaling. Additionally, the grade assigned to the institution by the International Evaluation Panel for modules 3 to 5 is also considered.Figure 1 General National Evaluation Chart Source: Methodology for Evaluating Research Organisations and Research, Development and Innovation Purpose-tied Aid Programmes
The most recent classification of research organizations occurred following the evaluation in 2020, with the next evaluation scheduled for 2025.
