European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE)

EURASHE is the international Association of European Higher Education Institutions – polytechnics, colleges, university colleges etc. – devoted to professional higher education within the Bachelor-Master structure, especially through its active involvement, as a consultative member, in the Bologna Follow-up Group. In this capacity, EURASHE has always upheld its support for quality assurance in HE, within the broader concept of LLL. One relevant example is the seminar organized by EURASHE in October 2008 in Prague, with a focus on  the use of Learning Outcomes and a Quality code for procedures. Another example is the 2008 Amsterdam seminar on ”RPL, QA and the implementation of procedures”.
