The EAQA Agency Reviews process is designed to formally demonstrate agency’s compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area in order to meet the expectations of the ENQA Board for membership applications and those of the European Quality Assurance Register Forum (EQARF) for the purpose of registration. The process stimulates trust in quality assurance and quality of higher education internationally, and supports and adds to the legitimacy of the reviewed agency at the national level (where relevant).
