Congiuntamente alla stesura del PTD, sono pianificate annuali azioni di monitoraggio e analisi dei risultati, che sono raccolte nel documento di Monitoraggio del Piano Triennale Dipartimentale.

All'interno di questa sezione è possibile accedere al Piano Triennale Dipartimentale ed alle relative Schede di Monitoraggio Annuale.

Quality Assurance (QA) is the process through which universities achieve continuous improvement goals by monitoring and self-assessing their Educational Offer, Research, and Third and Fourth Missions.

The University adopts a Quality Assurance System (QAS) that operates on multiple levels and through various bodies across Teaching, Research, and the Third and Fourth Missions. The QAS aims to promote the long-term monitoring of the results achieved, identify areas for improvement, and implement corrective actions based on the tools provided by the AVA system (Self-assessment, Accreditation, and Evaluation of the Italian university system). The functioning of the University QAS is described on the dedicated Quality Assurance page of the University of Milano-Bicocca website, specifically in the section “The University Quality Assurance System”.

To ensure a structure consistent with the university-level framework, the Departmental Board appoints a Quality Assurance Coordinator for each area. Furthermore, it appoints its own representatives to the Quality Assurance Board (PQA) — one for the Teaching Branch and one for the Research Branch.

• Prof.ssa Paola Saracino (Quality Assurance Coordinator for Teaching and Member of the PQA – Teaching Branch)
• Prof.ssa Simona Comi  (Quality Assurance Coordinator for the PhD Programme in B4S - Business for Society)
• Prof.ssa Simona Comi  (Quality Assurance Coordinator for Research)
• Prof. Mattia Martini (Quality Assurance Coordinator for the Third and Fourth Missions)
• Prof.ssa Barbara Del Bosco (Department Referent in PQA-RR)

The functioning of the University Quality Assurance (QA) system regarding Research is described on the dedicated Quality Assurance page of the University of Milano-Bicocca website.

Each Department appoints a Quality Assurance Coordinator for Research who coordinates a Research Committee, with tasks of coordination, monitoring, and liaison for the relevant activities.
