distributive code personnel

Principles of the new financial decree

Education: 55 % Base + variable part Input financing: first volume of 60 credits Output financing: all other credits Bonus for each Ma diploma

Research: 45 % Base + variable part Number of Ma diplomas in association Doctoral degrees over 4 years Publications and citations over 10 years


25

Distributive codes inside UGent

Education: 55 % No input financing = competition between faculties

Research: 45 % Stimuli for alpha faculties (doctoral degrees and

publications: 20% guaranteed)

Base per faculty: 10 % Taken apart


26

Weights of criteria/1

Education: several weights are taken into account Discipline of the student (e.g.: law = 1: medicine =

4.2) Number of students in each course Master thesis: α = 1: β = 2; Γ = 3 Didactic methods

Clinical work = factor 5 Lab work = factor 4 Interactive collective learning situations = factor 3 Group work= factor 2 Ex cathedra = factor 1 Guidance of in-service training, online discussions =

factor 0.5


27


Research Number of enrolled doctoral students: 10 % Number of granted doctoral degrees: 60 %

Condition of at least 2 international publications, peer review

Alpha: reality: 8.5 % but 20 % of funds guaranteed Output: 30 %

Publications over last 5 years = factor 3 Patents = factor 1 Proceedings = factor 0.4 (for the time being)
