4th Stakeholder Workshop

Stakeholder workshop on the observations of the pilot phase and the future of U-Multirank

(05.05.11 University Foundation, Brussels)

During the last workshops, the relevant indicators that should or should not be included in a multidimensional global ranking and the different ways of presenting the results have been discussed. During this meeting the objective was to share the preliminary results of the data collection and concentrate of the future of U-Multirank. The issues which have been discussed were:

·	The future of U-Multirank

·	What is the scope of U-Multirank in the future (global vs. European)?

·	How can U-Multirank be institutionalized?

·	The observations from the pilot phase

·	What is the impact of the results on the selection of indicators? What indicators are key indicators, what are the ones that need amendments?

For this workshop we invited an expert panel to discuss with you the institutionalisation of U-Multirank: the scope of the system, roll-out strategy, ownership and organisation. The expert panel of this stakeholder workshop consisted of:

Mr. Verheggen (Elsevier)

Mr. Newby (EUA/University of Liverpool)

Mr. Santacana (Fundación CYD)

Mr. Tyson (European Commission)

In total 60 persons participated in the workshop. Participants were very active and appreciated the format developed for the workshop.
