Abstract

No indicator is an objective measurement of all of the dimensions of the academic performance of a university. Because of this, universities must formulate their own institutional visions, their specific contributions to local, national and global society, always taking their institutional history, value and characteristics into account. The information contained in international comparisons can form part of a frame of reference to help evaluate the progress of universities towards their established objectives, among which is the gaining of high international reputation. To do this it is necessary to expand the resources available for research, promote research in international collaboration, promote alliances and coalitions that lead to cooperation with researchers in other countries. The Metricas Project congregate researchers from the three state universities to advance in themes such as the use of indicators and participation in rankings, identifying what can be learned from international comparisons for Brazilian higher education and how the universities can use this information to improve their academic performance. https://metricas.usp.br/ The project bring together professionals from the three state universities and from society to construct strategic plans, with an eye towards 2022, the bicentenary of Brazilian independence. As well as two publications and the open access of its contents, the project held, in March 2019, a National Forum to plan and share experiences between universities, promoting collaboration so that all can grow together.
