DEQAR CONNECT
Enhancing the Coverage and Connectivity of QA in the EHEA through DEQAR
DEQAR CONNECT was selected for EU co-funding under the Erasmus+ call to support the implementation of European Higher Education Area (EHEA) reforms. The project focuses on two of the EHEA key commitments, supporting quality assurance and recognition inside the EHEA, and consists of two strands:
- Expand coverage to EHEA countries currently under-represented in DEQAR, by supporting the participation of agencies that could not join DEQAR in the first stage.
- Enhance connectivity by exploiting existing synergies and exploring new opportunities to use DEQAR data directly in the recognition workflow, digital credentialing and elsewhere.
