SMEQA Project: Three-Day Workshop in Split

From April 14 to 16, 2025, the University of Split hosted a three-day workshop on internal quality assurance as part of the Erasmus+ SMEQA project – Strengthening Capacities and Mechanisms for Enhancement of Quality Assurance System in Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The study visit took place at the University Library in Split and was attended by higher education experts, representatives of relevant ministries, and quality assurance agencies from Slovenia (NAKVIS), Croatia (AZVO), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (HEA).

The main focus of the program was the development and implementation of a multidimensional internal quality assurance model that integrates standards of excellence across several key areas: governance, scientific research, cooperation with industry, student experience, social responsibility, and public communication. This model was presented as a dynamic system supporting the strategic development of higher education institutions, with a strong emphasis on science as the foundation of institutional quality, and on supporting young researchers, PhD candidates, and research mobility.
