961 applications for accreditation of civil servant teachers evaluated during November 2025

During November 2025, 960 accreditation applications submitted since April 1, 2024, were evaluated in accordance with the new procedure regulated by RD 678/2023, as well as one accreditation application in accordance with the previous accreditation procedure (regulated by RD 1317/2007), thus concluding the evaluation of these applications (barring any possible appeals).  

It is important to note that the average time taken to reach a decision has fallen to 4.5 months from the date of submission (in May this year it was 10.2 months, in June it fell to 8.7 months, in September it reached an average of 6.1 months, and in October it fell further to 5.4 months).

Since February, when the first collegiate sessions of the new procedure were held, the pace of resolution by the committees has made it possible to reduce the average evaluation time from the moment an accreditation application is submitted. Based on the above data, it can be said that ANECA is making decisive progress towards its goal of ensuring that no committee exceeds a 6-month waiting period: we have already achieved this in 21 committees.

In November, the average pass rate for tenured faculty was 92% (92% of women and 93% of men obtained accreditation), while the average success rate for full professorship accreditations was 61%, slightly higher for women.

The publication of this data provides information on the effective work of the committees and also represents further progress towards more transparent communication of ANECA's activities.

The number of applications evaluated (961) includes:

• Positive and negative decisions (applications resolved).
• Procedural agreements (requests for additional information, proposals for negative resolutions, and proposals for rejection due to non-compliance with the mobility requirement in PTU accreditations or the research excellence requirement in CU accreditations requested by persons accredited to PTU/PPL).
