Performance-related Allocation of Funds as an Aspect of Quality Management

This article describes the performance-related allocation of funds as part of quality management in higher education. It focuses on the example of Freie Universität Berlin, where the performance-related allocation of funds has been operated for many years. Its policy is effectively based upon an indicator-based model (also within the context of the University’s agreements with the government) as well as in-house target agreements. Both practices are components of the quality management system of Freie Universität Berlin.
