The HIVE University Certified Strategic Assessment is an independent, rigorous, and certified process that evaluates a university’s strategic value and territorial impact. Over three to six months, it combines the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, interviews with internal and external stakeholders, and international benchmarking with peer universities.
The final result is a comprehensive, certified report detailing key performance indicators, the institution’s economic, social, and systemic contributions, and a strategic roadmap with recommendations to strengthen its positioning. This process provides universities with external legitimacy, enhances their institutional reputation, and establishes a solid foundation for decision-making, strategic planning, and access to funding sources.
The value of the HIVE model lies in its ability to translate data into vision: it allows universities to demonstrate with evidence how they impact their environment, drive innovation, develop talent, and actively contribute to the sustainable development of the region in which they are located.

Why implement it?
Because the HIVE offers what no ranking or accreditation can: a tangible measurement of the university’s true strategic value to the economy and society.
It transcends the logic of reputation to highlight the institution’s true role as an economic, social, and cultural engine of the region.
In a context where the legitimacy of universities is measured by their capacity to generate impact, not just knowledge, the HIVE becomes the tool that translates academic contribution into evidence of development.
