AERES
French academic research evaluation agency
AERES, the Agence d'évaluation de la recherche et de l'enseignement supérieur, was a French academic research evaluation agency. AERES was set up as a result of a 2006 law relating to research, and had the task of "evaluating research and higher education institutions, research organisations, research units, higher education programmes and degrees and with approving their staff evaluation procedures". It has been replaced by the HCERES in 2013.
The Italian ANVUR agency was partly modelled on AERES.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “AERES” as french academic research evaluation agency. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french academic research evaluation agency. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2826582. VIAF identifies the subject as 145881528. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
