Facilitating implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes – ImpEA

ENQA is currently involved as a partner in the project “Facilitating implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes – ImpEA” coordinated by the Polish Accreditation Committee.

Project Duration
October 2017 – September 2020
Background
The European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes was adopted at the Bologna Process Ministerial Conference in Yerevan in May 2015. The European Approach is a step towards minimising barriers in external quality assurance of joint programmes. However, to date, only a few countries have fully integrated the European Approach into their accreditation procedures, and several difficulties in implementing the Approach persist. The “Facilitating implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes (ImpEA)” project consortium hopes to address this issue by exploring the existing challenges in the use of the European Approach and sharing some of the success stories and good practices that can be used to support the further use of the European Approach in different contexts.
Objectives
The main aim of the project will be to support efficient implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes. This aim will be achieved by successful completion of the following objectives:

  1. Identifying key obstacles in implementation of the European Approach in the European Higher Education Area in general, and project partner countries in particular;
  2. Supporting partner QA agencies in running EA-based programme accreditation procedures (ex ante and ex post)
  3. Supporting partner HEI in pursuing the external accreditation based on the EA
  4. Developing a EA implementation toolkit (set of recommendations and proposed solutions for the policy makers and QA agencies)
