The evaluation consists of 5 modules – quality of particular outputs, effectiveness of research, societal relevance, viability, strategy and conception).

The quality of each of the science fields among the whole University is subjected to the evaluation as well as the quality of research activities of every faculty. The internal evaluation uses many criteria and data, especially extensive peer reviewed evaluations, bibliometric data and self-evaluation reports.
