PROJECT OUTPUTS

Planned Course of Action

QualityLink is dedicated to creating a seamless and interoperable environment for sharing quality data across European higher education by developing a pilot platform that will aggregate relevant quality information, improving the decision-making process for all stakeholders and fostering a more flexible and learner-centric educational landscape.

  • Define quality domains and indicators.
  • Test relevance of indicators with stakeholders.
  • Create inventory of relevant data sources.
  • Assess technical feasibility of aggregating data.
  • Create open standards to identify and match courses.
  • Create open standards for publishing and aggregating interoperable quality information.
  • Test the newly developed standards with selected institutions and data sources.
  • Pilot one-stop-shop platform that aggregates quality information from different sources.
