Performance Indicators For Assessing And Benchmarking Research Capacities In Universities

Abstract

At the first GUNI-AP (Global University Network for Innovation - Asia and the Pacific) symposium in 2004 on Quality Assurance and Mutual Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education, it was agreed that the theme for the 2005 Symposium would be 'University Capacity Building and its Benchmarking', with the goal of a regional benchmarking policy for university research capacity building. This paper is the first step toward that goal, through providing professional input into the performance indicators for assessing/benchmarking research capacity in universities.
