Hosted by DHBW at its Stuttgart headquarters, QualityLink partners held a kick-off meeting to discuss
the work plan, first deliverables and the cooperation during the upcoming months.

QualityLink is aiming to aggregate relevant information on micro-credentials and courses throughout
Europe. The partners’ initial discussions focused on the overall project aim – to ensure that trustworthy
quality data is widely accessible to all stakeholders – and on the quality domains the project will focus
on, covering topics such as student satisfaction, labor market and society demand, teaching methods or
institutional reputation.

In the next step, the consortium will flesh them out with a number of concrete indicators under each
domain, and then further on explore data sources for each indicator and work on aggregating them.
