Research Monitoring
TU Dortmund University collects data on the research activities of its academic departments as part of a research monitoring process.
The framework for this monitoring was developed during the participatory process to implement TU Dortmund University’s Research Strategy 2023–2027 and was initially drafted in the “Monitoring and Evaluation” workshop. In subsequent discussions with the departments and the Rectorate, the proposals were refined and indicators prioritized.
The aim of the monitoring is to capture the diversity and various forms of research conducted at TU Dortmund University. The results help inform the Rectorate and support the further development of research-related measures.
