Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, the 2012 EQAF, entitled ‘How does quality assurance make a difference?’, combined practice-oriented or research-based discussions with presentations of current developments in quality assurance (QA). This year, the Forum specifically explored the impact of external and internal QA on higher education policies and institutional realities. In this context, the sessions aimed to address issues such as external evaluation and institutional follow-up; the 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.
