The 7th European Quality Assurance Forum: How does quality assurance make a difference? - Tallinn University, Tallinn, Estonia, 22-24 November 2012 (29. Jun. 2012)

Following the success of previous years, we are pleased to invite you to the 7th edition of the European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF), which will take place at Tallinn University, Tallinn, Estonia, from 22 to 24 November 2012.

The European Quality Assurance Forum has been co-organised by ENQA, ESU, EUA and EURASHE since 2006. It provides a unique platform for the higher education and quality assurance (QA) communities to monitor, shape and anticipate developments in the field. The main purpose of the Forum is to foster a dialogue on QA that bridges national boundaries and leads to a common European understanding of QA through discussions and networking among different stakeholder groups.

Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, the 2012 EQAF, entitled “How does quality assurance make a difference?”, will combine practice-oriented or research-based discussions that will take place in the paper sessions and workshops with presentations of current developments in quality assurance (QA).

This year, the Forum will specifically explore the impact of external and internal QA on higher education policies and institutional realities. In this context, the sessions will aim to address issues such as external evaluation and institutional follow-up; the relationship between QA, pedagogical approaches and student learning; QA supporting institutional aims and profiles; QA supporting informed decision-making; and the role of QA in globalised higher education.
