Anvur

In 2015, the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR) asked Cultur-e to devise a digital media comunications strategy with guidelines for a restyling of its web portal.

Context

Promoting Assessment Culture

ANVUR is constantly criticised for its monitoring and evaluation activities on the didactic and research systems of universities and educational agencies. On-line criticism come from groups, websites and blogs in the educational sector. And part of these opinions and diffidence are due to a lack of knowledge on the methods applied by ANVUR and the unfounded belief that there is a will to punish Italian universities.

The agency turned to Cultur-e to develop an on-line strategy to relaunch the image of ANVUR and reveal the added value of its operations, promoting a positive culture for assessment that does not penalise, but rather drives a greater efficiency of the Italian educational system.
