Mission, Identity and Social Responsibility: Launching the Newman Framework Assessment Campaign
How can your university further strengthen the coherence between its mission, identity, and institutional practices?
How can these foundations continue to guide strategy and decision-making over time?
How can your institution enhance its societal contribution while supporting long-term sustainability?
Launch of the Annual Assessment Campaign – IFCU Newman Framework
Building on more than a decade of development and collaboration with universities worldwide, CIREAD-IFCU is pleased to launch a new edition of its institutional evaluation process based on the Newman Framework.
This initiative proposes a structured and adaptable approach to supporting universities in reflecting on and further developing their mission, identity, institutional engagement, and societal impact, in light of the values and intellectual tradition of Catholic higher education.
Conceived as a guided and collaborative process, it encourages:
- the recognition and sharing of existing practices
- a progressive alignment between mission, strategy, and governance
- the strengthening of institutional engagement and societal contribution
- continuous improvement in support of long-term sustainability
In a global context marked by uncertainty and transformation, Catholic universities bring a meaningful and distinctive contribution. This process aims to support its articulation, consolidation, and development over time, in a spirit of shared learning.
