In addition, the session was promoted by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to other universities in the country, therefore involving participants also from institutions outside the Consortium.
Quality is a dynamic concept […] Quality depends on the context. I mean, the institution itself, its mission, vision, strategic goals, the environment, the international environment, so everything related to the context changes the definition of the quality. Quality is a multi dimensional concept. It’s not a one time job actually.
Speaker
“You have to have your strategic plan to have a sound quality assurance system, and the plan should be in compliance with the declared quality policy principles of the university.”
