Institutional Responsible Research Assessment Efforts and the Response from SSH Disciplines – the Case of Masaryk University

We use a case of the first run of the newly designed Masaryk University (MU) institutional evaluation to document the response of SSH disciplines to the evaluation system built on RRA principles. Firstly, we deliver the overview of MU system of evaluative activities and a more detailed specification of the Internal Research and Doctoral Studies Evaluation (IRDE). We describe the policy implications and impacts of the IRDE on SSH faculties and discuss the aspects of assessing the quality of research in SSH and how it fits RRA ideas. For this purpose, we conducted semi-structured interviews with vice-deans of six SSH faculties at Masaryk University. The poster is oriented foremost on practical applications and impact on strategies.
