ENQA - European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education

ENQA disseminates information, experiences and good practices in the field of QA in HE to European QA agencies, public authorities and HEIs.

The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) is an umbrella organisation which represents its members at the European level and internationally, especially in political decision making processes and in co-operations with stakeholder organisations. The Association aims to maintain and enhance the quality of European higher education at a high level, and to act as a majo

r driving force for the development of quality assurance across all the Bologna signatory countries. ENQA contributes to this goal especially by promoting European co-operation in the field of quality assurance in higher education and disseminating information and expertise among its members and towards stakeholders in order to develop and share good practice and to foster the European dimension of quality assurance.

This collaboration represents an important step in strengthening quality assurance frameworks and supporting sustainable capacity-building within the African higher education sector. ☑️

Last week, members of ENQA’s pool of experts came together to exchange experiences and reflections on the role of the review chair, with contributions by Teresa Sánchez Chaparro, Ronny Heintze, Nora Skaburskienė and Tue Vinther-Jørgensen, who shared their insights and practical perspectives.

One of the takeaways from the discussion was the idea that an effective chair is simultaneously the motor, compass, glue, and seal of the review panel:

🚀 The motor keeps the review moving forward and focused on its objectives.
🧭 The compass provides direction, guiding the panel through the review process and helping it navigate complex discussions and evidence.
🤝 The glue brings the panel together by facilitating deliberations, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that members work effectively as a team.
✅ The seal safeguards the quality and integrity of the review, ensuring that both the process and its outcomes are rigorous and robust.
The discussion also highlighted the importance of the key documents that guide the chair's work:

➡️ Guidelines for ENQA Agency Reviews:https://www.enqa.eu/wp-content/uploads/ENQA-Guidelines-2025_final.pdf
➡️ Code of Conduct:https://www.enqa.eu/wp-content/uploads/ENQA-Guidelines-2025_final.pdf =44
