In 2002 the department started the periodical compulsory research evaluation process. The process starts with a self report produced by the department, a visit of several external reviewers at the department for presentations and conducting interviews with the department's researchers, and is completed by the reviewers' assesment report which is used to improve the department's research strategy.
