A three-day workshop (10-12 July 2023) supported by our project took place. The aim of the event was to support the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA) in finalizing the revision of the accreditation standards, a process that has started time-ago. The event was chaired by the KAA Board president Ms. Hasnije Ilazi, whereas the HERAS Plus has engaged international and local expertise to provide contextual inputs during the entire process of the finalization.

It is important to mention that the process of revising accreditation standards is based on the relevant feedback received from accreditation cycles. As such, it aims to shape a more transparent and user-friendly accreditation standards both for institutional and programme accreditation and based on the lesson learnt from the implementation of the current standards.

During the event, our team leader Mr. Aqim Emurli stated that HERAS Plus will remain committed until the standards are fully finalized and adopted by the KAA and emphasized that the new standards will have positive impact on KAAs future membership in ENQA and EQAR.
