To mark the end of the Quality Assurance Fit for the Future project (QA-FIT), the consortium will organise two final events: a webinar and a conference. These events will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss the outcomes of the project, which has sought to map and explore current practices in internal and external quality assurance and stakeholder perspectives on the future development of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG).
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 10 September at 10.00-12.00 CEST. It will provide an overview of the main project findings and the next steps for the revision of the ESG. The webinar is open to all those interested and registration information will be announced in due course.
The final conference will take place on Thursday 7 November in Brussels. The event will gather higher education stakeholders and policy-makers to discuss the current context for quality assurance of higher education and reflect on how the EHEA framework can evolve to remain responsive and relevant. Further information and invitations for the event will be sent out during the summer.
The Quality Assurance Fit for the Future project (QA-FIT), co-funded by the European Union, aimed to gather comprehensive evidence and reflect if and how the current EHEA framework of the ESG is perceived to limit the responsiveness of quality assurance to trends and innovations in higher education, and if and how there should be more room for development of alternative approaches to quality assurance.
