On 7 March, a workshop was held at the ACSUG’s headquarters, regarding the evaluation process for research groups applying for the grants announced each year by the Galician Ministry of Culture, Education and Universities through the Galician Secretariat-General of Universities. This event featured participation by 22 experts, some with up to 10 years of experience serving on evaluation committees for processes of this type.
The workshop lasted for the entire first half of the day. It included an analysis of ways to consolidate and structure the units that compete each year to obtain one of the grants awarded for carrying out their research projects. The purpose of this event, led by experts from the Galician Ministry of Culture, Education and Universities and the Galician Agency for Innovation (GAIN), was to develop a set of working tools for defining and promoting the programme, and for implementing mechanisms for reflection and analysis that could help improve it. First, however, analysis and diagnosis was performed on the research, development, and innovation (R&D+i) system that the Galician government has been developing during the last few years.
