The first Intellectual Output of the project – European Approach implementation background report has been released.
The report provides a systematic overview of the current state of implementation of the EA in the EHEA countries. It is one of the project milestones, as provides the most up-to-date information concerning current national policies and practice in the implementation of the EA. It also takes into consideration the achievements of other projects or activities related to the European Approach (i.e. FaBoTo II, Bologna Follow-Up Group publications, EQAR monitoring data, etc.).
The report is developed based on the results of the online survey on the implementation of the EA and the outcomes of the ImpEA project background conference which took place on 1-2 March 2018 in Brussels.

About the event
The European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes was adopted at the Bologna Process Ministerial Conference in Yerevan in May 2015. The European Approach is a step towards minimising barriers in external quality assurance of joint programmes. However, to date, only a few countries have fully integrated the European Approach into their accreditation procedures, and several difficulties in implementing the Approach persist.
Within the framework of the “Facilitating implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes (ImpEA)” project, ENQA, ECA, EQAR, and PKA are co-organising an informational and interactive fee-free event for all stakeholders interested in learning how the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes may be implemented with greater ease. The event will build on previous activities pertaining to this theme and will present the results of the ImpEA project survey, in which implementation obstacles will be identified (to participate in the survey, please click here).
Participants are kindly requested to book their own travel and accommodation.
