In the year 2007, UNIBASQ signed an agreement of collaboration with ANECA for the development of the Program of Support for the Evaluation of Teaching Activity (DOCENTIA) in the Basque University System.
The purpose in launching the DOCENTIA program is to meet the requests of the universities, and the need of the Basque educational system, to have available a model and procedures for improving the quality of the university teaching staff. The program has been designed in such a way that, within the autonomy of the universities, it orientates their activities while at the same time strengthening the increasingly relevant role that universities should play in the evaluation of teaching activity and in the development of training programs for their teaching staff.
