External evaluation
The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) is responsible for the financial and scientific monitoring of the Fryske Akademy. In this framework, a study evaluating the institute's research is conducted once in every six years on behalf of the KNAW. An external evaluation committee gives an independent expert opinion on the scientific achievements of the Fryske Akademy over the past six years.
2024
On 4 June 2024, an external review committee visited to form an independent and expert opinion on the Fryske Akademy's scientific performance. In preparation for this, a working group from the Fryske Akademy had written an extensive self-evaluation report. After a day of interviews with researchers and stakeholders, the committee got a good impression of our organisation. The visitation report will be ready in the second half of 2024. That review report, together with the self-evaluation report, with the KNAW Board's position on the evaluation of the Fryske Akademy and with the reactions of Fryske Akademy, Supervisory Board and Provinsje Fryslân, will then be posted online here.
