Call for participation in the Quality Assurance Fit for the Future (QA-FIT) focus group

EUA seeks participants for a focus group organised in the context of the Quality Assurance Fit for the Future (QA-FIT) project, which explores how quality assurance activities are addressing emerging developments in higher education.

The focus group is free of charge and open to staff of national rectors’ conferences who are involved and/or interested in the design and implementation of quality assurance frameworks, or experts nominated by the NRC. It will take place in-person at EUA’s offices in Brussels, Belgium, from 12.00 on Wednesday 21 February until 14.00 on Thursday 22 February.

The focus group constitutes a unique chance for national rectors’ conferences to contribute to the understanding and further development of the quality assurance framework of the EHEA. Its findings will be presented in the project’s final publication, and ultimately feed into the revision of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG).

Participation in the focus group is limited to a maximum of 15 people and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. To apply to participate, please email Cecilia Biaggi at This email address is being protected from spambots.

In your email, please specify your name and surname, institution, country and position.

Please note that EUA will cover the costs of joint meals (lunches, coffee breaks, and dinner) during the focus group. EUA will not reimburse travel and accommodation expenses.
