Dear colleagues,
With this edition of the ENQA newsletter, I am pleased to present an abundance of interesting summer reading. To name a few, the LIREQA project has produced recommendations on integrating academic recognition and quality assurance, the Quality Audit Network has published a report on trends in quality audit, and the recent OECD publication looks at benchmarking higher education system performance. ENQA’s 2018 Annual report is also now available online, and you may expect the Self-assessment report for ENQA Agency Reviews 2019 to be published shortly.
Registration is now open for the second ENQA Seminar for Recently Reviewed Agencies and for the 2019 EQAF. Registration for the ENQA General Assembly will open soon.
With this newsletter, I wish you a pleasant and enjoyable summer holiday.
Sincerely,
Christoph Grolimund
President of ENQA
