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 deadline for applications will be in February 2011. To be considered at the Register Committee meeting in the spring of 2011, applications must reach the EQAR Secretariat by February 2011 (exact date to be published later).
