the format of the self-assessment study equipped BelSU with tools for evaluation of how internationalizations activities and service are dealt with and carried out
the portfolio of indicators of the self-assessment will enable BelSU to make its own vision of internationalization level achieved so far and compare it with the level of partner universities involved in the project
the self-assessment questionnaire was used to improve BelSU’s own monitoring of internationalization process at the faculties and research units
internal forms designed by IO will be used to accumulate statistical data for future benchmarking process with other PCIs
