INQAAHE Talks

As an INQAAHE member, your voice leads the way!

In an effort to increase member participation, INQAAHE is in the process of establishing the 2026 calendar of INQAAHE Talks and seeks your input on themes via ranking and open call.

The goal of these webinars, since 2020, has been to engage members and non-members on topics and issues that are relevant in practical and theoretical QA manners. Former topics include:

Navigating the Future of Learning: Recognizing Micro-credentials
Building a Global Culture of Quality: The Role of Students
Cross-Border Education: QA and Recognition Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities.

Topics come from a variety of sources, including via INQAAHE committee meeting discussions, recognition of themes emerging from global and regional events, suggestions from participants in past Talks, consultations by INQAAHE for the Global Study on Trends in Tertiary education with experts and networks, and Board Directors. As key players in the field of external and internal quality assurance, we are looking for your direct input in order to help us bring forth what our membership deems to be important topics in QA to delve into.

In establishing the annual Talks schedule, topics will be presented before the Board for approval. Thank you for your help in making this year's Talks insightful and useful to our member community!
