Catalan term or phrase: un major índex de sexennis aconseguits per professor numerari
I'm struggilng with this rather tortuous sentence:

"Si ens fixem en la Qualitat investigadora, XXX es troba en un vuitè bloc d'universitats del rànquing i destaca amb la XXX i les universitats Autònomes de XXX i de XXX per ser les que registren un major índex de sexennis aconseguits per professor numerari (segona posició per XXX, amb un 1,95) i un menor percentatge de professors de recerca sense sexennis (tercer lloc per XXX , amb un 21%), i en elsingressos d'I+D per personal docent investigador equivalent a temps complet (en setè lloc, amb 20.874 euros)."

Thanks for any help, as always!

English translation:a higher index of six year period supplements achieved by permanent teachers
Explanation:
ii) ‘Sexenios’ - salary supplements added after each six-year period and related to the in-service
training (a minimum of 100 hours of officially recognized in-service training activities). Typically, all
teachers fulfil this in-service requirement to be awarded with a ‘sexenio’. A maximum of 5 sexenios
can be received. The ‘sexenios’ don’t exist in all Autonomous Communities (i.e. not in Basque
Country, Navarra and the Canary Islands).

"permanent" refers to teachers with a permanent post as opposed to the "intern" (Cat: interins) teachers, who do not.
