The President of the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education, Professor Pericles A. Mitkas, participated in the 2024 ENQA Members' Forum, which took place on 18-19 April in Hanover, Germany. The event was organised in cooperation with the German Central Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation (ZEvA).
The Members’ Forum programme addressed the topic of “Quality Assurance and Change”, through keynote speeches and contributions from members and affiliates. Breakout sessions provided an opportunity for information and discussion on ENQA activities and current developments in quality assurance in the European Area. A meeting of the General Assembly also took place.
Among the issues discussed was the role of AI in quality assurance, given its potential impact on higher education, from learning and teaching to administrative processes and research. Questions to be answered include whether AI will be a good or bad tool, how accreditation bodies will support institutions in the appropriate use of AI technologies and how they will facilitate their own external quality assurance activities.
