The Database of External Quality Assurance Reports (DEQAR) project was selected for EU co-funding under Erasmus+ Key Action 3 - European Forward-Looking Cooperation Projects.

The main aim of the DEQAR project is the development of a database that will enhance access to reports and decisions on higher education institutions/programmes externally reviewed against the ESG, by an EQAR-registered agency.

The database is expected to enable a broad range of users, including but not limited to:

• Recognition information centres (ENIC-NARICs)
• Recognition officers in higher education institutions
• Students
• Quality assurance agencies
• Ministry representatives and other national authorities

to satisfy their information needs and support different types of decisions (e.g. recognition of degrees, mobility of students, portability of grants/loans). A first public preview version of the database will be available in May 2018.

Through this database EQAR will contribute to the transparency of external quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area.
