Final report of Examining Quality Culture project
pcassuto | 28 avril, 2012 01:04
The EQC project has been a continuation of EUA’s long-term work with its members on developing internal quality assurance. Over the course of two and a half years, the project mapped the state of affairs within European universities and explored the dynamics between the development of institutional quality assurance processes and quality culture. The final workshop in Edinburgh gathered 30 participants from EUA member universities from across Europe to analyse the practical application of the project conclusions, as well as to discuss challenges and good practices in fostering quality cultures in various institutions.
The new report from the workshop “Examining Quality Culture Part III: From self-reflection to enhancement”, is authored by Oliver Vettori (Director of Programme Management and Quality Management, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria). It summarises the final phase of the project and the questions that have arisen and underlines one of the key findings of the EQC project, “that even the best ideas cannot always be imported into one’s own institution”. Rather than providing a standard inventory of good practices, the report uses a set of insights and questions to invite institutions to examine and understand the quality cultures already in force as the foundation for future enhancements.

The EQC project was carried out with the support of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme.
