The 2013 Biennial Conference was held in Taipei, Taiwan, from the 8th till the 11th of April, 2013. The Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) hosted this international conference.

The conference theme was "Managing Diversity: Sustainable quality assurance processes" and there were four related subthemes:

1. The QA of trans-border education: from quality providers to quality assured provision
2. Innovative approaches to external QA in tertiary education: not a single approach towards excellence
3. Impact of QA and the effects of external and internal QA: regional perspectives to a shared issue
4. National qualifications frameworks and their links to QA (including involvement of stakeholders)

The head of AQU's Quality Assurance Department and membre of the ENQA Board, Josep Grifoll, attended the round table of the subtheme 3, Impact of QA and the effects of external and internal QA: regional perspectives to a shared issue.

The International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) is a world-wide association of over 200 organisations active in the theory and practice of quality assurance in higher education.
