Objectives
The Quality Assurance Support Team, established in October 2004, aims to:
- Share information on quality assurance, evaluation, benchmarking, and quality development between ELLS universities.
- Benchmark and analyze common practices in course and program evaluation.
- Improve evaluation procedures and follow-up processes.
- Enhance the quality of courses and study programs, especially international Master’s programs.
- Advise the ELLS Board on quality assurance issues.
Team Composition
The team includes experts from all partner universities and the student association ELSA, ensuring student concerns are addressed. It coordinates with ICA (Association of European Life Sciences Universities) and EAALS (European Accreditation Agency for the Life Sciences).
During the last years the QA group carried out a number of projects. The outcomes of these projects can be found and downloaded at the bottom of the page.
