Leiden Manifesto
2015 - CAPES’ evaluation seminars:
• 48 evaluation fields;
• Over 4,000 research program directors involved;
• The manifesto was an institutional point of discussion.
Leiden becomes, more than ever, a reference for the Brazilian
evaluation of graduate courses.

Journals” to our grant and scholarship divisions, as well as with our evaluation system
