Registrations now open for the 5th European Quality Assurance Forum, Lyon, France (18-20 November 2010)

September 03, 2010

Registrations are now open for the Fifth European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF), ‘Building bridges: making sense of QA in European, national and institutional contexts’, which will take place from 18-20 November 2010 and will be hosted by University Claude Bernard Lyon I, France.

The EQAF provides a unique platform for the higher education and QA communities, allowing them 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, and to create a common European understanding of QA through a dialogue among different stakeholder groups. Through plenary and parallel sessions, the discussion will focus on the grassroots level of quality assurance in the context of the ongoing development of the European Higher Education Area.

The 2010 Forum will also 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 assurance frameworks and quality culture.

Specifically, the forum will be of interest to rectors and vice-rectors responsible for QA, QA officers in higher education institutions, students, QA agency staff, and researchers working in higher education or the QA field.
