Nov 18-20 November: 5th European Quality Assurance Forum, "Building Bridges" Organised by the 'E4' in Lyon, France
To be held in the beautiful city of Lyon, France, the organisers of "Building Bridges: making sense of QA in European, national and institutional contexts" hope to make the forum as historic as the city itself. Organised by the powerful 'E4' (European University Association (EUA); European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA); European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE); European Students` Union (ESU)), the forum promises to full of discussion and exchange.
The 2010 Forum will seek to examine how quality assurance tools and processes implemented at institutional and agency level:
- relate to European and national level policy discussions and decisions, and
- interact with and support institutional quality frameworks and quality culture.
Through plenary and parallel sessions, the discussion will focus on the grass root level of quality assurance in the context of the ongoing development of the European Higher Education Area.
The EQAF provides a unique platform for the higher education and QA communities to follow, shape and anticipate developments in the area. The main purpose of the event is to foster a dialogue on quality assurance that bridges national boundaries and leads to a truly European discussion on QA in higher education (notably through the Bologna process higher education reforms), and to create a common European understanding of QA through a dialogue among different stakeholder groups.
