On 23 February 2026, Director of Agency for Science and Higher Education Prof. Danijela Horvatek Tomić, PhD, participated in the meeting of the ECA Board, of which she is a member. During the meeting, participants discussed work plans, platform development, and the organisation of future activities.
Staff members of the ASHE participated in the seminar of the European Consortium for Accreditation in Higher Education and a workshop dedicated to the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes, held in Heidelberg from 24 to 26 February 2026.
The seminar addressed topics related to diversity and inclusion in higher education, as well as the role of students in external evaluation procedures.
During the two-day workshop, participants were introduced in detail to the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes, including the key requirements for joint programmes, evaluation procedures, and quality standards. Particular emphasis was placed on the single accreditation procedure, international cooperation, and the role of various stakeholders, especially students.
Participation in these activities contributed to strengthening AZVO’s capacities, improving understanding of European standards, and facilitating the exchange of good practices. The knowledge gained will be applied to the further enhancement of reaccreditation and initial accreditation procedures, particularly in the area of joint study programmes.
Participation in the seminar and workshop was made possible through the project “Quality Assurance in Higher Education – AZVOK”, financed under the Effective Human Resources 2021–2027 Programme of the European Social Fund Plus.
