Alternatively, participatory methods that incorporate various stakeholders experts, citizens and politicians can be used to assign weights.
In the budget allocation approach, experts are given a budget of N points, to be distributed over a number of individual indicators,
this method can induce serious cognitive stress in the experts who are asked to allocate the budget.
This is similar to the budget allocation method (see below) where experts are asked to assign weights
Allocation Process (BAP), experts on a given theme (e g. innovation, education, health, biodiversity,) described by a set of indicators are asked to allocate a budget of one hundred points to the indicator set,
It is essential to bring together experts representing a wide spectrum of knowledge and experience to ensure that a proper weighting system is established.
Special care should be taken in the identification of the population of experts from which to draw a sample,
stratified or otherwise. 31 It is crucial that the selected experts are not specialists for individual indicators,
For example, a biodiversity index should be handled by biodiversity experts, not by ornithology experts. It is also noteworthy that at the top level,

Activities undertaken and outcomes reached by the AUBR Expert Group Two major interrelated activities were undertaken:
in order to have the provisional outcomes of their work validated by invited key experts and stakeholder representatives.
3) Strengths and weaknesses of the various indicators used in assessment exercises The Expert Group analysed the different characteristics and dimensions of indicators,

Members of the Expert Group reviewed practices in their home countries and universities. Outcomes These case studies represent different approaches and objectives.

A new approach The Expert Group developed the outline of a multidimensional research assessment matrix.

The key objective was to validate the provisional results of the Expert Group's work.

These and other recommendations were incorporated into the Expert Group's final report, and specifically into the recommendations to stakeholders set out below.

The remit of the Expert Group is explained, and a summary of its activities and findings is presented. 2. 1 University-based Research in the Knowledge Economy Around the world,
In response, the European commission established the Expert Group on the Assessment of University-Based Research to develop a multidimensional methodology to assess the quality of research produced in universities
Activities Undertaken by the Expert Group The Expert Group met on seven occasions between July 2008 and July 2009 at meetings in DG Research, 8, Square de Meeûs, Brussels. The‘core group

the Expert Group has identified a wide range of users who seek and require research assessment information for a variety of different and often conflicting uses;
In sum, the Expert Group hopes that this report will serve as a guide to Users of information on the quality of university-based research,
