Council of Europe Forum

This event will marked the 3rd annual Council of Europe Higher Education Forum and looked at the triangle of public responsibility, governance and quality assurance. In particular, it focused on the roles and responsibilities of public authorities and institutions in quality assurance, and considered elements of importance to the legitimacy and acceptance of quality assurance methods and results. In keeping with the Council of Europe’s long-standing activities on the recognition of qualifications, the relationship between recognition and quality assurance was also among the discussions.
The forum gathered some 100 high level policy makers in quality assurance in higher education in Europe, including representatives from public authorities, higher education institutions, student representatives, other organisations/agencies active in quality assurance issues in higher education, in particular the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) as well as the European University Association (EUA).
