We are pleased to announce that EQAA has been accepted as a Full Member of INQAAHE, the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education. INQAAHE is the worldwide umbrella organisation for Quality Assurance Agencies in higher education. The membership will allow EQAA to further broaden its cooperation with other quality assurance agencies in various parts of the world. 

At their summit held in Yerevan European Ministers in charge of higher education also adopted the revised version of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG). EQAA's standards and processes have been designed on the basis of the revised ESG. Therefore, universities and higher education institutions seeking accreditation will already undergo the process in accordance with the revised ESG. 

The revised version of the ESG is available in the file below. 

The revised Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) have been endorsed by the Bologna Follow-Up Group and will be adopted by the Ministers of Education in May 2015. EQAA is pleased to inform that EQAA already operates fully in line with the new ESG.
