TSCF Rating For Catholic University of Leuven
The TSCF score sits at 103.
Universities can create a favorable environment for pedagogic performance, but the latter lies in a last resort on individual staff and students. In addition, performance evaluation in this sector is widely subjective, depending notably on the opinion of employers, the public image and fame of these organizations, and their involvement in partnerships with other actors.
To qualify for evaluation, a University must offer the whole range of the degrees (undergraduate - graduate - PhD). Higher education institutions that focus on a particular segment of science or on the application of science are taken into account only if: - they cover a sufficiently broad spectrum of disciplines and areas, - they practice fundamental research and teaching.
Our evaluation criteria include:
- Quality of education (student/faculty ratio, pedagogic methodology, logistics, income and budget) for 50%,
- Support to research (research budget, faculty involvement, patents, indexation and citation per faculty) for 25%,
- And organization development (HR policy, institutional income, international outlook including faculty, research and programs) for 25%. |

CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) |

C- |
This state-owned research organization lacks ethical and methodological reflection. It is essentially a conservative nomenklatura that lacks overall dynamism and did not undergo any reform since the mid-2000s. The organization has followed disastrous policies since the 1990s. By associating almost systematically its research units with Universities, it has bowed out to conservative University « mandarins », has diluted the organization's corporate identity, and has weakened its originality. CNRS does not have advanced evaluation methodologies. Its budgetary cost is high while its final output is poor. CNRS absorbs a budget nearing EUR 3,5 Bio per year. In its corporate literature, CNRS aggregates the publications of all researchers who are involved in its labs, and alleges that their publication record is its own. In reality, most labs are University teams that are loosely associated with CNRS, which provides for a small fraction of their funding. Faculty often freely and informally join the labs. Their publications are theirs, and would have taken place anyway. Most of the time, the added value of CNRS in the faculty final publication record is minimal. In summary, CNRS fakes its publication records by annexing the whole list of faculty publications, while the contribution of CNRS to their research is unsubstantial, and likely minimal. |
