The ESG compliance Self-Assessment Report validated
The Self-Assessment Committee (CAI) for assessing compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area has validated the self-report proposal that will be submitted to the Agency Standing Committee for approval.

Yesterday, the final version of the self-assessment report on compliance with the Standards and Guidelines (ESG) was presented. It is structured as follows:
- Introduction
- Improvements made since the previous ESG compliance assessment
- Standards that require special attention
- New activities
- SWOT analysis
- Conclusions
- Annexes
The version presented included the changes introduced in the previous phase of external review by stakeholders (Governing Council, Vice-Chancellors Committee, Technical Quality Units, Institutional and Programme Assessment Committee and specific committees, Advisory Committee, Students Committee and AQU Catalunya staff, among others), who were valued as minor and whose aim was to improve comprehension of the text and underline certain issues, without changing the structure or content of the self-assessment report.
The Self-Assessment Committee validates the Self-Assessment Report which will be submitted to the Standing Committee of the AQU Catalunya Governing Council for approval.
