COMMIT visits aim at sharing ideas for refining and enhancing the integration of the social dimension into the university strategy, exchanging ideas with others and getting new examples.
The first project visit has taken place in Istanbul (TR) at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi (26-27 June 2014). The meeting and the interviews have seen the participation of several managerial levels of the university, as well as administration and student representatives. This new stage of COMMIT will engage the 12 partners of the project coordinated by eucen and will consist of 12 peer learning visits: each partner will visit one other and will be visited by a different one.The visits will focus in particular on discussing the 4 self-evaluation tools revised by the project management team. The approach is to involve in this process not an isolated person but a group of key people from the visited HE institution, in order to generate organisational learning and enhance the commitment to change. Two additional visits will be undertaken at the end of the project in 2 additional HEIs where COMMIT has no partners. This will contribute to further valorise the tools and results of the project. A transversal analysis of data collected from the use of tools and during visits will be produced.
