FIL - Level of research products

The Local Research Fund (FIL) represents the University funding action allocated on the basis of evaluations regarding products consistency and quality resulting from the research activities carried out by University faculty members and researchers as well as in incentive-type considerations designed to generally improve the opportunities and performance of the University. The quota of the FIL “level of research products” is allocated following evaluation procedures of research products referable to the main scope of the different Scientific Areas. The identification of the products subject to evaluation and their evaluation must be consistent with the criteria used by MUR and ANVUR in the various Research Quality Assessment (VQR) actions.
The “level of research products” is attributed to single faculty members on the basis of individual scientific production in the three-year period preceding the year of the call, evaluated according to the general criteria defined by the University Research Commission, supplemented and/or adapted by the Scientific Committees to the specificities of the respective Areas. The Scientific Area Committees define the evaluation criteria, upon recommendation of the University Scientific Commission, in compliance with these regulations and the implementing calls, and proceed to their application for the purpose of evaluating those faculty members belonging to the respective Scientific Area. Said criteria are based exclusively on the evaluation of quantity indicators and quality of scientific production in the period under consideration.
