To improve joint management with the host University and following a policy that supports associative research, the CINV will become a Center of Excellence in Research and Innovation (CERI-CINV) of the University (see the President´s declaration at cinv.uv.cl/en/institutionality/#newinstitutionality). The CERI-CINV will have a non-competitive evaluation every 5 years. To this end, an International Advisory Board (IAB) composed of 2-4 scientists, external to the University with recognized scientific experience, and chaired by the Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation of the host University, will be in charge of the external evaluation process of CERI-CINV. The Director may propose, with IAB approval, to incorporate new academics to foster and reinforce strategic research plans as needed. At the time of joining the Center, each academic signs a 5-year performance agreement, indicating expected tasks and responsibilities based on international productivity and extramural funding standards. A scientific and academic evaluation of each researcher will be carried out annually.
