3. Financing
Attached pdf shows funding, earning power and cost development over the years 2015 until 2021.
4. NUTRIM Research quality
In October 2019 Maastricht University signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) marking an official endorsement of a new approach to assessing academics. In the light of this declaration the assessment of research quality is based on the CNCI (Category Normalised Citation Index). The publication information used for the analysis comes from the PURE database which is the Current Research Information System (CRIS) of Maastricht University. See table 1.1 (School level) and 1.2 (division level) in the PDF download for the number of publications and the citation impact results.
Table 2.5 shows the PhD defenses that are assigned to NUTRIM in the years 2015 until 2021 in the PDF download for more details.
