15 June 2017-16 June 2017 All Day
ENQA organised a seminar on the European dimension of quality assurance, taking place on 15-16 June 2017 in the beautiful Châtelain neighborhood of Brussels at the International Associations Centre. The seminar was open to all, but it was primarily geared towards new staff of QA agencies or others with less knowledge or experience working in quality assurance at the European level.
The programme aimed to inform participants about relevant topics such as the Bologna Process, the European Commission’s priorities concerning quality assurance and higher education, the role of the main stakeholder bodies (including the E4 and EQAR) in the European Higher Education Area, and the purpose of the Standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG). Participation was open to ENQA members, affiliates, and other interested stakeholders.
The cost to participate was €220. Participants were kindly asked to book their own travel and accommodation.
