The Technical Table of Quality (TTQ) is the body that represents the University’s governance regarding instances, needs and issues that affect the proper functioning of the University’s Quality Assurance (QA) system.

The TTQ was established as the Permanent Table for Quality in 2017 (R.D. no. 17/008201 of December 22, 2017) and updated in 2018 (R.D. no. 18/008318 of October 10, 2018) with the aim of enabling the University governance to monitor, in line with the directives and ANVUR standards on the University QA system, all the activities that the University’s organizational units, central and peripheral, prepare and implement to achieve the institutional objectives set for teaching, research and the third mission/social impact.

In order to carry out its functions, the TTQ interacts with all components of the Athenaeum and consults with the coordinators and QA chairs of the different areas of the Athenaeum.

II TTQ promotes, in full respect of the competencies of the governing bodies of the University and its central and peripheral components, the realization of the strategic objectives established in the University Strategic Plan and the Integrated Plan of Organizational Activities (hereinafter PIAO).

II TTQ promotes and monitors activities related to teaching, research and third mission/social impact in compliance with the principles, guidelines and quality assurance criteria established by ANVUR in the AVA system model.

It is the prerogative of the TTQ:

• To periodically define its own work objectives, with specific attention and reference to monitoring activities addressed to the main central and peripheral components of the University, according to methods and criteria in accordance with the procedures and indications prepared by the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University System and Research (ANVUR) in the AVA Guidelines, as well as according to the methods and criteria solicited by the competent QA bodies of the University;
• Make and collectively agree on proposals regarding the assignment of responsibilities and tasks to University staff with a view to continuous improvement of the University’s QA system;
• Annually approve the planning of its activities and the internal allocation of tasks and responsibilities, including those necessary to meet any contingency or need solicited by institutional referents external to the University (i.e., MUR, CUN, CRUJ, ANVUR, CODAU, CONVUI};
• request, when it feels the need, documentation prepared by governing bodies in order to check its congruence with new directives or QA standards that may be prepared or published by ANVUR.

The main activities are:

• meet periodically and with timelines that must be consistent with the activities and QA deadlines of the main central and peripheral components of the University;
• provide feedback, with appropriate communications, to the QA documentation that the main central and peripheral components of the University transmit according to methods and timing that ii TTQ agrees internally;
• where it detects particular problems that hinder the proper QA management of the main institutional activities, discuss and collegially agree on the actions and/or suites solutions deemed most appropriate to re-establish ii compliance with the guidelines and standards suggested by the AVA system;
• consider what activities, remarks or actions, suggested during ii regular performance of its functions, require ii involvement, ii opinion or approval by the central organs delta governance (Academic Senate, Board of Directors);
• To propose, when deemed necessary, interventions and additions to the main documents prepared by the University governance and referred to by the AVA guidelines (e.g., University Strategic Plan, PIAO, etc.);
• Prepare periodic reports of their work and meetings by taking minutes that summarize, item by item, the issues addressed and the considerations, actions or decisions agreed upon in this regard;
• Periodically publish the minutes mentioned in the previous point on a dedicated QA section available on the University portal.
