What events does ENQA organise and how can I participate?

Updated

ENQA organises three main types of events: the General Assembly, the European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF), and webinars, alongside conferences and project activities run by its members and partners. Participation is generally aimed at ENQA member agencies, quality assurance practitioners, and higher education stakeholders; the ENQA website's Events section is the place to check dates, locations, and registration details.

Main event types

ENQA General Assembly

The General Assembly is ENQA's own membership event. The 2026 edition is scheduled for 21–23 October in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, organised in cooperation with the Canarian Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ACCUEE). It runs across all three days.

European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF)

EQAF is the larger, sector-wide forum. The 2026 edition takes place 18–20 November in Yerevan, Armenia, hosted by the National Polytechnic University of Armenia.

Webinars

ENQA runs shorter online sessions on specific topics. One example from the published schedule is a webinar on 23 November 2026, 10:00–11:30, presenting findings from the ROQA-TNE project's mapping of policies and approaches to quality assurance of transnational education (TNE).

How to find dates and participation details

  1. Go to the ENQA website (enqa.eu) and open the Events section.
  2. Check the event listing for date, location, and format (in-person or online).
  3. Follow the "Read more" link on each event for the full description and any participation information published there.

The Events section is also where related activities appear, such as member-hosted conferences — for example, the 8th NAKVIS International Conference and the AQHE open call for foreign experts both appeared in ENQA's news listings.

Practical notes

  • Dates can be published well in advance — the 2026 General Assembly and EQAF were both listed with full dates and host institutions.
  • Some activities are organised jointly with member agencies, so the host agency's site may carry additional logistics.
  • Registration terms, fees, and eligibility are not stated in the source material; check each event's own page rather than assuming open or free access.
