EUniQ pilot evaluations
The main aim of the EUniQ project is to develop and test a Framework for the Quality Assurance of European Universities. This Framework has been developed by the EUniQ project partners in consultation with European Universities. The Framework has been tested through pilot evaluations of four alliances in the second half of 2020:
Twelve independent experts supported by process coordinators from eight QA agencies have carried out the pilot evaluations.
The Resonance Group (consisting of the six ministries in the project) has analysed the proposed methodology in the following paper:
Summaries of the pilot evaluation reports have now been published:
As a consequence of the pandemic the pilot evaluations were delayed; the EUniQ project has been prolonged with 6 months and online interviews have replaced the site visits.
The EUniQ project partners are grateful for the cooperation and commitment of the four alliances, the experts and QA agencies who carried out these pilot evaluations. The outcomes of the pilots, the lessons learned and the implications for the Framework were presented at the EUniQ webinar on 9 March 2021.
