The CAD system aligns with the Bologna Process emphasis on research-based learning and international academic collaboration.

Point Requirements Matrix

• As academic rank increases, the percentage of active points increases:
  • Assistant Teachers: Focus more on passive engagement (60%)
  • Professors: Focus more on active research/contributions (58%)
• Strategic Implications:
  • Junior faculty can meet requirements through participation and engagement.
  • Senior faculty are expected to lead and contribute actively to research/scholarship.
  • The system encourages career progression through increased research activity.
