1st EMQT Open Seminar
1st EMQT Open Seminar
Friday 15th April 2011
University of Bologna
Faculty of Political Sciences, Strada Maggiore 45, 40125 Bologna, Italy
The Seminar has been jointly organised by the University of Padova, the University of Bologna and all the EMQT partners, in the framework of the EMQT – “Erasmus Mobility Quality Tools” – project.
It has been the opportunity to introduce Higher Education Institutions, National Agencies and other stakeholders to the EMQT project and the occasion to present and discuss the first results obtained (i.e. EMQT questionnaire, draft mapping report, guidelines for good practices and preliminary list of indicators).
EMQT – a network of 14 Universities and 5 non-academic bodies – focuses on promoting quality in Erasmus mobility by developing self-certification tools for the benefit of HEIs. Outcomes and outputs are prepared and achieved by partners within six lines of action, dealt with by 6 specific Task Forces, i.e. a) general organisational models, b) language preparation, c) information and orientation, d) students' performances and recognition, e) reception of host students and f) e-coaching.
The results of the project are expected to have an impact on the quality of Erasmus students mobility in the Bologna Area, affecting not only the involved partner universities, but also their mobility partners, the moving students and their families as well. They are also expected to influence the policies of LLP agencies and of Quality Assurance Agencies.
We also thank the audience for their positive inputs and constructive comments, which will enable us further to develop and improve the EMQT project.
