Message from the President
 
Christoph Grolimund

Dear colleagues,
 
This ENQA Newsletter is the last issue of the year 2019 but also the last one for now. ENQA will certainly continue to share and disseminate information on quality assurance in higher education to members, affiliates, stakeholders and other interested parties. This will, however, be done through other channels of communication with the aim of delivering information in a more timely, efficient and targeted manner. I encourage our newsletter readers to follow ENQA on social media if you are not already doing so. Links to our different channels can be found on the sidebar of this newsletter.
 
ENQA will also continue to publish the quarterly Note from the President, targeted towards members and affiliates but published online as well, in order to update the membership on Board decisions, ENQA events and other activities.
 
I would like to thank all our readers for subscribing to the newsletter and all our members, affiliates and partners for contributing to it by providing content. I hope you have found the newsletter informative and useful.
 
Finally, I take this last newsletter as an opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to ENQA’s members, affiliates, partners and collaborators for their active participation and support during the year.
 
Best wishes for a joyful holiday season!

Sincerely,




Christoph Grolimund
President of ENQA
