    List of activitiesActivity titleActivity descriptionDeadline
    1Introduce the new partners to the achievements and lessons learned from phase one and to Quality Assurance practices.The new partners have been associated with the project's activities since June 2021, resulting in an easier and shorter acquaintance process.(M1-M2)
    2Update the general synoptic assessment of partner Quality Assurance systems.Building on phase one benchmarking by the QEB, by including the new partners' QA systems frameworks. Update and adopt the UNITA Quality Assurance policy to be implemented at partner and alliance level, with quantitative and qualitative indicators fitting the new WP and Tasks structure. Define opportunities of partner Quality Assurance synergies, further developing the common Quality Assurance policy respecting different institutional/regional/national contexts. Together with TTs 1.2 and 5.4, agree on the methodology for the evaluation of progress, processes, cost-efficiency, and deliverables, including systematic feedback from students, staff and stakeholders. Update the Quality Assurance plan by drawing a map through a logical table relating Tasks and indicators, defining all the processes to reach the objectives, and building a management quality system with procedure and codification for each process or activity. Train all the Task teams to the quality assurance policy and plan.(M3-M12)
    3Implement and test the evaluation of progress, processes, cost-efficiency, and deliverables of the first year.Producing a report for the QEB. Support the QEB in the production of the annual report with recommendations for the Governance Board (GB). Monitor the implementation of the corrective actions decided by the GB and evolve the quality assurance requirements and plan accordingly. Repeat evaluations emphasising identified areas of improvement. Evaluate and realize the independent assessment given by an external European Evaluation Agency, accommodating modifications in the interest of improvement. Draw lessons from the implementation of the quality assurance plan integrating best practices based on an inventory, mapping of the main QA processes on teaching, research, and public engagement.(M13-M48)
    4Co-develop together with TT1.1 and disseminate the UNITA Quality Assurance strategy.Matching with the ambition of developing a model of European University. Internally disseminate the strategy to all actors and in particular to the Quality Assurance Boards of the partners. Benchmark Quality Assurance strategy and practices with other European Universities by organizing and participating to mutual learning workshops.(M24-M48)

    Secondary indicators

    To be defined by T5.4 members previously to interviews and to be proposed to task co leader

    • Number of participants, but it is very difficult to know this information due to the different nature of the events, conditions of the participants, etc.
    • Number of certificates issued with the number of participants per event when possible.
