    Report summary

    The postgraduate program Visual Arts: Contemporary Visual Practices and Theories is fundamentally well-established and represents a meaningful complement to the study of visual arts, while addressing interested postgraduate students who wish to enter the theoretical and artistic space with a broad knowledge of the field of various disciplines, to complete the whole discourse connections between theory and practice in this field. The inadequacies that we have identified relate primarily to certain programmatic and substantive ambiguities, which are highlighted in the report itself, and the lack of scientific competences of the principal lecturers and mentors. Because of that we propose to consider separating the artistic and scientific approach to certain contents, which offer a symbiosis of these two paradigms. However, the extremely interconnectedness of the program, the work of the management and professional services, which provide the appropriate material conditions for the operation of the program and the connection between the students and the teaching staff, which can, due to its boutique nature, act homogeneously and welltuned, should be commended. In this context, we continue to question whether a simple exemption from theory is appropriate; since external stakeholders also emphasized the importance of theoretical knowledge to the artists they work with and specifically emphasized the potential theoretical basis as a strong area of the second-cycle program that would meaningfully upgrade the first-degree program. Although the team of experts does not question the achievements of future program implementers, the necessary references are nevertheless necessary. With the changed topic and the focus of the program, which also excludes theoretical content (Visual Arts: Contemporary Visual Practices), the AVA has moved away from the focus of the higher education theoretical field and placed itself distinctly in the axis of practical education. The team of experts believes that the shift in terms of observations and our notes is reasonable, and we s

  • Verifiable Credential

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
