Background and objectives of the seminar

Among other things, the seminar discussed the following issues:

- What are the common challenges in the daily operations of quality assurance agencies;

- How do agencies follow recommendations from the review panel or the review committee;

- What are the good examples of how an agency can better measure that their processes and results reflect the mission and goals of quality assurance (as stated in the European Standards and Guidelines).
