The Hellenic Authority for Higher Education organised a workshop for the staff of Quality Assurance Units of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on Friday 24 November 2023 in Athens, at the Titania Hotel. 51 executives from all over Greece participated in the workshop.

The workshop entitled “The re-accreditation of the Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) of HEIs” was held in 2 parts. In the first part, the Director General of HAHE, Dr. Christina Besta, presented the critical success factors of re-accreditation, highlighting the key points of the quality standard and the significant changes from the previous one, the accreditation proposal as well as the effective organisation of the Quality Assurance Unit. Dr. Besta referred, among others, to the organisational identity of the QAU, the common problems observed in the accreditation proposals submitted by QAUs, issues related to the External Evaluation and Accreditation Panels (EEAPs) and the desirable skills of quality assurance staff. Finally, Mrs. Besta discussed in detail with the participants and answered questions.
