To support efficient implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes
ImpEA aim and objectives
Main aim:
Objectives:
1. To identify key obstacles in implementation of the EA in the EHEA countries;
2. To support QA agencies in running EA-based programme accreditation procedures (ex ante and ex post)
3. To support HEIs in pursuing the external accreditation based on the EA
4. To develop an EA implementation toolkit
![Page 4: Facilitating implementation of the European Approach · To support efficient implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes ImpEA aim and objectives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060504/5f1dbcc0f8823d783e621bd4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Desired impact
• Speeding up implementation of the European Approach
• Providing feedback to the ministries and the BFUG on possible
improvements of the European Approach
• Increasing HEIs willingness to develop joint programmes by reducing
bureaucratic barriers
• Increasing internationalisation of the accreditation procedures by
increasing number of experts with relevant knowledge and experience

Phase 1 – setting the scene
1. Survey on EA implementation
• 260 respondents from 33 countries
• HEIs and QA&As
2. ImEA project seminar – current stage of implementation
• Current achievements
• Understanding challenges ahead
3. EA implementation background report –
available on impea.online

What do we know by now?
European Approach implementation background report:
• Only 10% of HEIs know EA very well
• 80% of HEIs would like to be able to apply
• Recognition of the outcomes of the EA-based procedures is the main concern
• Main sources of information
• The European Commission and/or the local Erasmus+ agency - in more than 50% of cases
• EQAR and/or national/regional QA agency ca. 20%
• International and national events (combined) ca. 30%

Phase 2 – practicing EA
1. Capacity building
• information meetings for partner HEIs
• trainings for panel members
2. EA-based procedures – currently in progress
• 3 ex post
• 1 ex ante
3. Analytical report on project procedures
• practical experience
• ways forward

Phase 3 – Sustainability and dissemination 1. EA implementation toolkit
• Online interactive tool
• Answering challenges and obstacles in practical use of EA
• Practical guidance for policy makers, HEIs and QA&A agencies
• Frequently asked questions, manuals, good practices
• Any suggestions?
2. Multiplier and dissemination events - national and international

Self-evaluation report • Discuss the language used – mind the further recognition process
• Plan ahead:
• Different timelines of international procedures compared to the national ones
• Agency will need to compose international panel (time needed!)
• Partners might need more time to complete the documents required
• Emphasise the jointness of the programme
• Added value from joint delivery
• Joint internal quality assurance
![Page 12: Facilitating implementation of the European Approach · To support efficient implementation of the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes ImpEA aim and objectives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060504/5f1dbcc0f8823d783e621bd4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
