An-Najah National University will be hosting a team of experts from the Institutional Evaluation Programme (IEP) under the European Universities Association (EUA), who will assess and evaluate the University's achievements and accomplishments since the previous evaluation in 2011.

The IEP will carry out a comprehensive and integrated review of University activities on the administrative and academic level, as well as in scientific research and community service. This process will continue over the course of 4 days, during which the visiting team will meet with the relevant parties inside and outside the University based on a previously prepared agenda. Later this year, the IEP will present an inclusive report of the evaluation results that will be available online.

Dr Allam Mousa, Vice President for Planning, Development and Quality Assurance, said that the University voluntarily participates in this Programme for the second time and that this participation aims at achieving the University visions and missions, enhancing its international ranking in quality of education, scientific research and community service, in accordance with the accredited international standards and references.
