EQAF 2012 - 7th European Quality Assurance Forum - How does quality assurance make a difference?


Date :  du 22-11-2012 au 24-11-2012

Lieu :  Tallinn

Organisation :  European University Association (EUA)


Programme : 
Following the success of previous fora, we are pleased to announce that ENQA, ESU, EUA and EURASHE will organise the 7th European Quality Assurance Forum, which will take place at Tallinn University, Estonia, on 22-24 November 2012.

      Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, the 2012 EQAF, entitled “How does quality assurance make a difference?”, will combine practice-oriented or researchbased discussions that will take place in the paper sessions and workshops with presentations of current developments in quality assurance (QA).

      This year, the event will specifically explore the impact of external and internal QA on higher education policies and institutional realities. In this context, the sessions will aim to address issues such as
      - external evaluation and institutional follow-up;
      - relationship between QA, pedagogical approaches and student learning;
      - QA supporting institutional aims and profiles;
      - QA supporting informed decision-making and the role of QA in globalised higher education.
