Stakeholder cooperation within the Nordic agencies for quality assurance in higher education - similarities, differences and good examples
Sustainable and open stakeholder cooperation seems to be viewed as an essential part of the quality culture of the institutions of higher education. This includes the special agencies assigned to assure and evaluate the quality of higher education.The Nordic Quality Assurance Network in Higher Education (NOQA) established by the five Nordic countries and their respective national organizations engaged in evaluation and quality assurance of higher education has chosen to focus on stakeholder cooperation in its annual joint project 2011.
The main objective of the annual project is to create an understanding of different Nordic points of view and practices regarding stakeholder cooperation, in particular with respect to employers and other representatives of working life.
We hope that sharing and discussing findings from the project - convergence, non-convergence and good examples - with the participants at the seminar, will form a good basis for a productive future workshop focusing on cooperation with employers in quality assurance of higher education.
Seminariet hålls på engelska.
