  • \"Excellence\" has become the buzzword of academic evaluation. Judgments of what is today defined as excellence are most often based on the measurement of formal, analytical, impersonal and presumably non-contextual performance indicators. It contrasts sharply with judgments of \"prestige\" or \"reputation\" that express idiosyncratic and synthetic judgments carried and legitimized in an informal manner by specific social networks. Research policy has analyzed extensively the rationales for policy making, asking what, why, how and with what consequences policy makers build incentives, to specifically enhance the quality level generated by academic institutions. Yet, it has much less addressed the topic the other way around: how academic collective actors such as departments or professional schools as such and organizationally mobilize resources and manage constraints supplied by exogenous actors - public authorities, professional associations, funding agencies, etc - to enhance their own reputation. The purpose of the PrestEnce project has been to develop in-depth organizational investigation of local orders relating specific resource building processes in terms of structural capital and organizational tools to their outputs in terms of \"prestige\" and \"excellence\". Data collection is based on fieldwork in 33 teaching and research departments in three large fields (history, chemistry, business administration) located in prestigious universities of 6 countries (China, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, USA). Over 600 extensive interviews were conducted altogether with faculty and staff both within departments and the universities' governance system. In addition, various archives and documents were exploited. The final conference of PrestEnce shall present and discuss some relevant results of the research. It targets both an academic and a decision-makers audience. (literal)
