Departmental Activity Planning Document

The Departmental Activity Planning Document (PDip) is the primary tool used by each department to define its three-year strategic plan. The PDip's structure ensures strategic coherence by including:

• A Strategic Vision: Aligned with the University's overall plan, the socio-economic context, internal expertise, and available resources.
• Strategic Objectives: Defined for each mission (teaching, research, third mission), consistent with key performance indicators (such as those for national research quality assessment - VQR and national scientific qualification - ASN) and available resources.
• Objective Frameworks: Detailed charts that link departmental objectives to the University's strategic and operational objectives, including monitoring indicators, baseline values, targets, and planned actions.

The Planning and Review Cycle

The PDip is the planning phase, to which the following are linked:

• MDip (Monitoring Document), annual, Check phase, which checks progress, analyses deviations from objectives and identifies criticalities
• RDip (Review Document), three-year, Act phase, which evaluates the overall effectiveness of strategies and organisational adequacy.

This structured cycle ensures continuous improvement, as the conclusions from the RDip directly inform the next planning cycle. The aggregated results from all departments are included in the Rector's 2024 Report on Research, Training, and Technology Transfer Activities, ensuring alignment and circularity across the entire planning process.

The complete framework is defined by the Guidelines for the Preparation of Planning, Monitoring, and Review Documents for Departmental Teaching, Research, and Third Mission/Social Impact Activities.
