It primarily applies to the main functions performed by university: teaching, research and services. The &#8222;excellence&#8221; and its meaning is influenced by the political and economic conditions as well as social and cultural environment in which a university functions. Not to mention that &#8222;excellence&#8221; can be differently understood by various stakeholders, academic disciplines, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The above observations do not diminish the fact that &#8222;excellence&#8221; can be more than a description of current performance but foremost the goal or aspiration of the university; the way it is organized, functions and relates to its environment. In other words, the academic excellence should be seen not only as a major marker of performance but even more as a driving force for the forward-looking university.<\/p>\n<p>IREG Forum 2017 hosted by the Qatar University looked at multitude of issues related to &#8222;academic excellence&#8221; from policy and practical perspective. The Program Committee of the Forum has identified the following key carrying themes [reflected also in the theme of a\u00a0particular session] as particularly relevant:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; excellence as &#8222;set of standards and guidance&#8221; for functioning and development of university;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; excellence as &#8222;a framework&#8221; for teaching and organization of studies in the context of the needs of a country or a region;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; excellence in the context of cultural and economic transformation;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; understanding the principles of &#8222;excellence in various academic disciplines and institutional settings.<\/p>\n<p>It is a matter of fact that academic rankings are one of the key expressions of &#8222;excellence&#8221; in higher education. However, assessing the &#8222;excellence in teaching&#8221; has been, and still is, a long-standing argument facing rankings, particularly the international ones. It is why the IREG Forum 2017 intents to draw a particular attention to accumulated experiences as well as challenges in this area.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly to previous IREG conferences, during the &#8222;IREG Qatar Forum&#8221; there was an opportunity to learn about new initiatives in academic rankings and related to it developments in universities and other organizations. The Forum provides a platform for interaction with ranking organizations and experts, and to discuss different aspects of broadly understood &#8222;academic excellence&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Marek Kwiek had a presentation at the IREG Forum on Academic Rankings.
