Die internationalen Evaluator*innen Anders Frølund (Aarhus University) und Simone Thomsen (VOK Dams Agentur für Events und Live-Marketing) sehen u.a. folgende Stärken des Veranstaltungsmanagements: „The university has through VAM a very extended and well-functioning unit helping a big variety of internal and external users. All users seem in general to be very satisfied with the help that VAM offers and users are very satisfied with quick response time and the level of support. The researchers and staff from various sections of the university experience good help from the VAM and the top management supports the unit in various ways to support the need and wishes for help. At a university, it is always a big challenge, BOTH to have support from the top management AND from researchers and staff from across the university. This combination is a strong sign of quality.“
Entwicklungspotential wird u.a. für hybride, virtuelle und nachhaltige Veranstaltungen gesehen: “The changes in the general situation for events and conferences caused by the COVID-19 could be a game changer for VAM. The situation not only asks for technical solutions in order to make virtual and hybrid events but also for guidance and the wish to help designing new types of events in a hybrid or virtual format. […] VAM has all the knowledge to become a crucial partner for conference and event makers at the university when it comes to play a role as an advisory unit with special focus on designing event and transforming events from traditional physical to virtual and hybrid events. The same approach to be relevant when it comes to designing and transforming events to more sustainable events.”
Die Evaluierungsergebnisse wurden vom Rektorat mit der Leitung des Veranstaltungsmanagements ausführlich beraten. Eine Reihe gutachterlicher Verbesserungsvorschläge wurde in die Umsetzungsvereinbarung zwischen Rektorat und DLE-Leitung aufgenommen. Das Monitoring der vereinbarten Maßnahmen erfolgt im Rahmen des Zielvereinbarungsprozesses.
