European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education


EQAR for quality assurance agencies

EQAR allows quality assurance agencies to demonstrate their reliability and accountability at European level.

Inclusion on the register is decided based on an external review by independent experts that evidences a quality assurance agency's substantial compliance with the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education that were agreed by European ministers of higher education in 2005.

Such a review can be organised nationally or coordinated by another organisation independent of the reviewed quality assurance agency.

The next EQAR Register Committee meeting will take place on 2/3 May 2013. Applications by quality assurance agencies for inclusion on the Register have to reach the Secretariat by 4 March 2013 to be considered at that meeting.
