In September 2018, the BFUG formally established this Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance (TPG C on QA) – more specifically on Key Commitment 3 (Quality Assurance in compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area) – based on the interests and needs indicated by the BFUG members and Consultative members in a survey conducted during the summer of 2018.
Specific thematic indications include topics such as:
Action plan of the Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance (last update 08.10.2020)
The Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance was established with the aim of fostering peer support among countries. Therefore, a European project has been created to facilitate and finance a system of staff mobility across Europe.
The Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance was established with the aim of fostering peer support among countries. Accordingly, a European project was created to facilitate and finance a system of staff mobility across Europe with the aim of sharing expertise from this field. After a very successful first call, and numerous enquiries for further possibilities for staff mobilities, the BPSG on QA is pleased to announce a second call for this project.
Through a system of mobility of staff members working in the field of quality assurance within national authorities (ministries), quality assurance agencies and/or stakeholder organizations, peer support can be facilitated. All flows and directions of staff mobility between ministries, QA-agencies and stakeholder organizations are possible. As such, the system supports the professional development of staff by offering a work placement in another country. Each mobile peer will further develop its QA competencies through job shadowing, observation periods and/or training at a partner QA agency/ministry/organisation abroad.
The members of the Thematic Peer Group met for the first time and discussed the work plan of each single country and the overall work plan of the group.
Presentations and documents of this meeting:
The members of this group met for the second time in Limassol in a two-day meeting, followed by a Peer Learning Activity. The countries that recently joined the group were informed about the outcomes of the first meeting and the work done since then. The countries presented their priorities and ideas as written in their own Action Plan. The matchmaking for the staff mobility project started.
