There are many possibilities how to improve research quality:


Audit / Review

A yearly audit from external colleagues or a self-review with all the CF staff will allow you to reflect on your performance, identify and solve problems together and think of possible improvements (the Self-assessment by EQIPD can give guidance). You should cover the following topics:

  • Past: check the implementation status of the previous year’s resolutions and assess their usefulness.
  • Present: review the current processes.
  • Future: identify improvements to implement in the coming year.

Write a summary of the session, including the findings, solutions and responsibilities. And don’t forget to schedule the next year meeting.
