Quality Assurance lies at the heart of the European Higher Education Area, providing the basis for mobility and international cooperation. Much has been achieved over recent years but there are also many open issues on the table. In particular, a lot has changed since the last version of the European Standard and Guidelines (ESGs) was published in 2015, in particular a move to online and hybrid learning. There are also calls to increase the scope of the ESGs as well as develop an EU-level policy in Quality Assurance. Furthermore, quality assurance overlaps with the issue of assessment which impacts student choices and public funding.

Within all these discussions, EURASHE wants to ensure that the voice of professional higher education is heard, considering its specific objectives and methods. Our Community of Practice will help you understand the issues at stake and how to increase quality in your institution, ensuring it is fit for purpose in the rapidly changing world of higher education. Joining the first meeting of the relaunched community will also give you the chance to shape its future development.
