EUA has announced that the 7th European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF) will take place at Tallinn University, Estonia, from 22 to 24 November 2012.

Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, the 2012 EQAF, entitled “How does Quality Assurance Make a Difference?”, will combine practice-oriented or research-based discussions that will take place in paper sessions and workshops with presentations of current developments in quality assurance (QA). This year, the event will specifically explore the impact of external and internal QA on higher education policies and institutional realities.

The Forum organisers, ENQA, ESU, EUA and EURASHE, have now opened a call for contributions from QA practitioners in higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies, students, institutional leaders and researchers in the field. Two types of contributions are sought: papers and workshops.

The deadline to submit contributions is 31 July 2012.
