Quality Assurance in the context of a European University: a lean and trust-based approach for joint programmes

The approach is based on the principles of verified trust subsidiarity and core practices. From this follows a need for accountability and transparency. To ensure transparency the partners share information on their internal quality assurance methods in a ‘knowledge base’.

Furthermore the partners agreed on core practices for a smooth operation of the joint quality assurance system: involvement of stakeholders timing scope tools and communication.

Based on this lean strategy all Una Europa partners commit themselves to safeguarding the quality of joint programmes on a continuous basis.
