Forum objectives
Across Europe there are significant similarities in the ways in which the quality of higher education is assured and enhanced. Nonetheless there is wide-spread agreement that approaches to quality and QA need to be tailored to specific disciplinary, institutional and national contexts and cultures so to allow them to be embedded into daily work and be efficient. The 2016 Forum will explore these different contexts and consider how QA policies and practices are adapted to respect diversity and remain fit for purpose.
