Unibasq has participated in the European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF) at the University of Twente (The Netherlands) from 14 to 16h November as a member of the EQAF Programme Committee representing ENQA. The Committee is charged with deciding the theme, developing session concepts, identifying speakers, selecting contributions for the Forum and chairing some sessions.  The Committee is composed of representatives of ENQA, EUA, EURASHE and ESU, as well as an independent academic advisor.

EQAF 2024 started with the opening plenary by Derfel Owen in the session titled “Quality across the missions: mission impossible or mission accomplished?”. For two days there were intense debates on the three missions of the universities and their interconnections, including the hot topic of Artificial Intelligence, the update of the ESG or quality assurance of research. The programme closed with the thought-provoking plenary talk by Professor Ellen Hazelkorn “Beyond the three missions: HE for the future”.
