The focus of the discussion on equality and diversity in Higher Education is almost only on the Higher Education Institutions. Still, there is little said about the role of external quality assurance agencies and their procedures. As external quality assurance agencies, we are part of the HE system and it matters how we reflect and act to foster equality and diversity within our organisations and in our external quality assurance procedures.

AQ Austria would therefore like to initiate a peer-learning network with the focus on exchanging experiences, ideas, struggles and best practices in a trustful atmosphere among colleagues.
