Implementation and Innovation in QA through peer learning

ended

"With the Paris Communiqué, ""a structured peer support approach based on solidarity, cooperation and mutual learning"" was adopted. Towards the EHEA ministerial conference in Rome in 2020 this peer support approach has been evaluated. As the work in the three Thematic Peer Groups (TPGs) was seen as very useful and successful, the ministers reconfirmed their determination to have the Key Commitments fully implemented and asked the BFUG to continue to employ the peer support method to achieve this. The project 'Implementation and Innovation in QA through peer learning' is the umbrella project to support the work of the Bologna Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance during the working period 2021-2024. The project will focus on one hand on quality assurance in the broad sense and thereby work on the implementation of the key commitment in all EHEA countries, and on the other hand dive into some specific themes with innovative focus. Three main packages in the project are open to all participants in the TPG and support the overall working structure of the group: the organisation of 6 TPG meetings in the coming 3 years, a scheme that allows for staff mobility of QA people of ministries, QA agencies and stakeholder organisations part of the TPG and 3 large Peer Learning Activities. Next to this, 3 thematic topics will be addressed: the QA of micro-credentials, the QA of European Universities and the digitalisation of QA procedures and processes. All outcomes of the project will feed into the work of the Bologna Follow Up Group and eventually into the next ministerial communiqué in 2024. "
