Fourth European Quality Assurance Forum

Creativity and Diversity
Challenges for quality assurance beyond 2010

Hosted by Copenhagen Business School 19-21 November 2009

Call for papers

Deadline: 20 August 2009


Introduction

Following the success of previous forums, we are pleased to announce that the 4th European Quality Assurance Forum – co-organised by ENQA, ESU, EUA and EURASHE and supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission – will be hosted by the Copenhagen Business School (Copenhagen, Denmark) on 19 – 21 November 2009.

The main goal of this event is to provide a discussion forum centred on how current internal and external quality assurance approaches take account of institutional diversity and support creativity in higher education. Through plenary and parallel sessions, the discussion will frame these issues in the context of the ongoing construction of the European Higher Education Area.


Participants

The forum provides a platform for discussion and exchange of experiences among the main stakeholders in quality assurance. 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, employers and researchers working on higher education or the QA field.


Procedure

We invite contributions from QA practitioners in higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies, students, institutional leaders and researchers in the field. The forum is an excellent opportunity to test current practices or research and to elicit feedback from colleagues and stakeholders. Therefore, all contributions are expected to seek to stimulate a discussion with forum participants.

The deadline to submit all contributions is 20 August 2009. Proposals received after this date will not be considered.

The complete text for the call for papers can be found here .


Publication

A post-conference publication will be produced, based on a selection of the papers presented at the forum. This publication is intended to contribute to the sustainability of the forum's outcomes by providing a wider audience with up-to-date information on current debates on internal and external quality processes in Europe.
