EUA has announced that the 6th European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF) will take place at the University of Antwerp and Artesis University College, Belgium, from 17-19 November 2011.

Based on the popularity of this event and feedback received from previous editions, the 2011 Forum, entitled "Quality and trust: at the heart of what we do", will increase opportunities for exchanging among colleagues, sharing institutional practices, and getting updated on new QA developments. Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, EQAF 2011 will specifically aim to explore the impact and essence of both internal and external QA, and how QA can be further developed to serve these better. More specifically, the Forum plenary sessions will concentrate on reinforcing the idea that improving the quality of provision should remain the essential focus of QA, since it is this that will lead to trust-building among the stakeholders.

The Forum organisers, ENQA, ESU, EUA and EURASHE, have now opened a call for contributions from QA practitioners in higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies, students, institutional leaders and researchers in the field. Two types of contributions are sought: papers and workshops.

The deadline to submit contributions is 1 August 2011.
