Welcome to the website of the joint quality initiative.
The joint quality initiative is an informal network for quality
assurance and accreditation of bachelor and master programmes in
Europe.
It stems from the Bologna declaration (1999) in which European
ministers of Education committed themselves, among other things,
And from the follow-up Prague communique (2001) which called upon
various actors
- to co-operate in quality assurance
- to design scenarios for mutual acceptance of evaluation and
accreditation/certification mechanisms
- to collaborate in establishing a common framework of reference
- to disseminate best practice.
The initiative originated from a meeting in Maastricht of
countries with comparable quality assurance systems, which
introduced or consider(ed) introducing accreditation of bachelor and
master programmes.
Actions are aimed at transparency in bachelor and master programmes.
