The process of plannig and monitoring activities at the Department of Earth, Environmental and Life Sciences (DISTAV) follows a cyclical and integrated approach. Every three years, we develop a Three-Year Strategic Plan, in line with the University's guidelines. This plan defines objectives, actions, and performance indicators for teaching, research, and third mission activities. These plans are monitored each year, through the preparation of an Annual Monitoring Report, which assesses the progress of objectives and proposes any necessary corrective actions. 
At the end of each three-year cycle, we conduct a Review that includes an analysis of the extent to which objectives have been achieved, as well as an evaluation of any contextual changes and the adequacy of both the Department’s organizational structure and its Quality Assurance system.
