A new publication is available on the quality assurance of European Universities alliances, featuring a state of play and future perspectives. This report is prepared as part of the three-year Implementation and Innovation in quality assurance through peer learning (IMINQA) project. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme to support the implementation of Bologna Process reforms and commitments related to quality assurance (QA).
One strand of the IMINQA project activities focused on the QA of European Universities Alliances. Specifically, the work explored the need for and potential approaches to Alliance-level internal and external QA. This report draws upon discussions within the project working group, a desk research analysis, focus groups, and a survey conducted with focus group participants. While the focus groups and survey sample is not fully representative, the findings provide valuable insights into current perceptions and practices in both internal and external QA, as well as perspectives on possible future scenarios. These insights provide a strong foundation for further reflection and discussion, which is essential for future steps in this area.
