The Bologna process has made the accreditation of academic programmes and institutions a widely recognised standard in the European Higher Education Area (HE) and similar – but so far less coherent – tendencies can be observed in vocational education and training (VET).
The lifelong learning approach is gradually making the division between HE and VET obsolete and a growing need for a common (core) framework for quality assurance and accreditation is slowly emerging. The challenge is to create synergies and bring about coherence in systems that still operate quite separately.
The seminar has two main objectives: first, to explore methods and tools for overcoming the existing dichotomy between external and internal quality assurance and, secondly, to search for synergies to support the improvement of quality in education and training provision. The intended outcomes should help to identify the core elements of a mutually reinforcing approach to quality assurance and accreditation fit for lifelong learning and applicable to both VET and HE.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
