European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF) Print Email this page

The European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF), an annual event co-organised by EUA, ENQAEURASHE and ESU, is the European conference on quality assurance in higher education that brings together all of the key stakeholders in the field – higher education institutions, quality assurance agencies and students. This event is considered by the four co-organising partners as a major contribution to QA in higher education, and a flagship activity in this field.

The EQAF has been organised since 2006 and gained increasing popularity over the years. It 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 thus create a common European understanding of QA through a dialogue among different stakeholder groups.

The seventh EQAF will take place from 22-24 November 2012. The Forum organisers will welcome paper and workshop proposals to be presented during parallel sessions at the Forum. The call for contributions will be published in March 2012.
