EQAR Members' Dialogue

The EQAR Members’ Dialogue (MD) is organised every autumn to discuss recent policy developments in quality assurance as well as EQAR’s current and future activities. Thanks to the informal setting, it also serves as a forum for exchange and networking among governments on issues related to quality assurance. Our MD is open to EQAR governmental members, stakeholder organisations, permanent observers, statutory bodies, speakers and guests.

Venue and dates

The 2025 Members’ Dialogue will be held in Brussels on 15-16 October and is hosted by by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) in “Merode”, Avenue Tervuren 41 (ground floor). We would like to take the opportunity to already thank DG EAC for their hospitality!

This year, exceptionally, the MD will be preceded by an Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA) that will last around 1 hour. This will take place on 15 October at the start of the day (followed by a coffee break) and is for EQAR members only. This means that guests/speakers can arrive at around 11:00 on day one.

    09:30 – 10:45: EGA
    11:00 – 17:15 : MD
