The ENQA Leadership Programme was first launched in 2018 as an initiative of the ENQA Board, which was followed by a successful second round in 2019-2020. Thanks to high participant satisfaction in the programme thus far, ENQA has launched a third edition which will run from June to December 2021.
The programme is designed to provide an intensive European peer-learning experience for high-potential professional staff in member and affiliate quality assurance agencies. The programme is a unique opportunity for QA agencies to offer their staff targeted training in an international environment!
The programme consists of three two-day seminars and small-group projects:

In order to enable the participation of QA agency staff from agencies with fewer resources, the programme offers three fee-waivers (travel and accommodation costs remain the responsibility of the sending agency).
To apply for the fee-waiver scheme, the agency should send an email with supporting documents to the ENQA Director Maria Kelo at maria.kelo@enqa.eu by 4 September 2020. The waiver request should include:
The ENQA Board will consider the requests for fee waivers and inform the applicant agencies of their decision by the end of September 2020. The fee waivers are awarded at the discretion of the Board and are not appealable. The waivers are limited to one per applicant agency. The fee-waiver scheme is open to ENQA member agencies only.
Participation is limited to 22 participants in total, with a maximum of two participants per agency. Participants commit to following the full cycle of the programme (from December 2020 to June 2021), including attendance in the three seminars and contribution to the group work.
