Given the vital role of faculty members in advancing science, technology, and innovation, there is a growing need to revise promotion regulations—particularly in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and the arts. While clear examples of technological activities have been defined for engineering and technical disciplines, no specific framework currently exists for such activities in these fields.
This study aims to define and clarify the concepts and instances of technological and innovative activities by faculty members within the spectrum of uncertainties embedded in current promotion regulations. The research seeks to offer a practical framework for incorporating these activities into promotion criteria for the mentioned disciplines.
Using the Integral Futures framework and a triangulation method—combining analysis of national and international policy documents, expert focus group discussions, and interviews with key stakeholders—technological activities in the humanities and social sciences were redefined.
The findings reveal that it is possible to articulate technological contributions in these fields based on five key indicators: economic impact, social impact, governance relevance, innovation and excellence in outcomes, and outstanding achievements. Based on these indicators, five core clauses and nineteen specific items are proposed for inclusion in faculty promotion guidelines.
These results offer a significant step toward equitable evaluation, increased motivation, and better recognition of the real impact of technological and innovative activities in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.
