The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education

The 2024 Members’ Forum will take place on 18-19 April in Hanover, Germany. The event will be organised in cooperation with the Central Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation (ZEvA) and will be held at the Hochschule Hannover, Campus Linden, located at Ricklinger Stadtweg 118/120, 30459 Hannover, Germany. It will be preceded by a social programme taking place on 17 April.

The webinar will explore the key QA-FIT project findings related to two topics: the scope of the ESG and flexibility of external quality assurance approaches. It will provide an opportunity to explore perspectives and implications of these issues for the future activities of quality assurance agencies.

ENQA will organise a Focus Group as part of the QA-FIT project consultations with higher education stakeholders. It will draw on the work of the project, which has identified differing stakeholder views around the scope and level of detail required from a European framework for quality assurance. Participants will debate some of the fundamental questions underpinning the future development of the ESG, as well as explore some specific standards of Parts 2 and 3 that could benefit from revision.

ENQA holds online CEO meetings twice a year to supplement the physical meetings that take place in conjunction with the Members’ Forum and General Assembly. The meeting is open exclusively to CEOs/Directors and equivalent of ENQA member agencies and is an opportunity for updates and discussion with the ENQA Board on issues of strategic importance for quality assurance agencies.

Further details will be communicated nearer the date of the meeting.

The 2024 General Assembly will take place on 24-25 October in Valletta, Malta. The event will be organised in cooperation with the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA). It will be preceded by a social programme taking place on 23 October.
