These academic accreditations stand as a fundamental requirement for the ongoing professional development of university teachers and researchers in Spain, reflecting the quality and impact of both scientific work and teaching. They are essential for securing teaching roles and for earning economic incentives. Yet the accreditation journey, including the six-year evaluation, carries a substantial administrative burden that can drain time from actual research and classroom activities. To address this, Acreditarse offers a streamlined service that manages university administrative procedures, easing the workload on teaching and research staff.
Accredited is another consultancy and advisory service delivered by COEX International Trade, designed to support teachers and researchers—PDI and PI—in achieving favorable accreditation outcomes and in navigating the six-year review process. The service was created to assist academic personnel from the outset of their university careers, simplifying management tasks related to chair administration and the accreditation lifecycle. It focuses on guiding applicants through the accreditation process, applying for six-year terms, and organizing resumes across various research platforms.
In addition, Accredited offers training on how to request a six-year term, how to locate quality indicators, and how to plan a teaching and research career. All services are provided through a highly personalized, close coaching approach, with advisors who tailor guidance to each individual’s situation.
Achievement of six-year research periods
Another core area for Acreditarse is maximizing the likelihood of a positive six-year research evaluation via CV analysis. Achieving this involves a careful assessment of the research area against the criteria set by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activities (CNEAI). The team helps determine and prepare the quality indicators of contributions included in the application, tailoring abstracts and recommending publications aligned with annual CNEAI criteria. They also guide activities related to knowledge transfer and innovation within the six-year framework.
How are academic accreditations conducted?
Accreditations begin with a CV review aligned to the sections defined for each teaching category by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), followed by evaluation reports that conform to ANECA criteria. The process includes digitizing documents for safe storage and efficient retrieval, with PDFs uploaded to the application in a precise, personalized manner to ensure nothing is missed. The service emphasizes accuracy and completeness of the CV data and supporting materials to strengthen the accreditation submission.
