QualityLink is a European project that is developing standards and practical tools for publishing and aggregating course data from multiple institutions into unified, searchable catalogues.
Using QualityLink, European Universities alliances can create joint course catalogues that enable students to discover learning opportunities across the alliance. The joint catalogue is foundational for virtual inter-university campuses and enhanced student mobility.
Joint catalogues directly address Use Case 1 “Discover” from the European Higher Education Interoperability Framework (HEIF).
All components are developed as open source and will be freely available to European higher education institutions and alliances.
The QualityLink project has developed the necessary technical and semantic standards, and we are currently implementing the pilot aggregator and platform. These will be launched during the autumn of 2025.
The more institutions and their courses will feature in a joint catalogue the more useful it will be. As an early pioneer you can support the community and help us support wider adoption.
The Knowledge Innovation Centre (KIC) is part of the QualityLink project consortium and hosts the pilot aggregator and platform. As every project, QualityLink has a lifetime, but KIC commits to ensuring that the current aggregator and platform remain available for the European higher education community for the next *.
Moreover, all specifications and all software created by the QualityLink project will be open source forever.
QualityLink is dedicated to creating a seamless and interoperable environment for sharing quality data across European higher education
