The conference builds on the success of the international conference held at the Ibn Zohr, Business School, in 2018. An event which involved presentations from 22 countries including North America, Australasia, Europe and Africa

Higher education institutions are increasingly asked to recruit more students, respond to systemic changes and meet the challenges associated with regulatory accountability and the impact of new technologies. At the same time, they are asked to rigorously maintain standards and quality. The increasingly globalized economy means that higher education across continents is facing similar challenges that need to be approached cooperatively. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that higher education institutions share their experiences, models and approaches to meet their local needs.

The overall aim of ‘Quality in Higher Education: Sharing Cross-national Examples of Effective Practices’ conference is to discuss present different approaches, models and options that can be considered as good principles for quality enhancement in higher education and a source of inspiration to guide other higher education institutions in the design and development of their own quality assurance models. Therefore, bringing educational practitioners and theorists together will contribute positively to promoting quality in higher education.

A short overview of current issues is set out below, intended to contextualise the conference central theme. The audience will be drawn from those who work as tutors and manage in higher education institutions as well as those who are engaged in study and research at HE institutions. It will also be of interest to those who teach in secondary education and those involved in regulatory systems and policy makers.

A conference Organising Committee and Scientific Committee are in place to rigorously scrutinise abstract proposals. Keynote speakers will take a global perspective in order to promote collaborative reflection to allow participants to consider ideas which might be applied in their own institutions.

To register and submit an abstract for an individual presentation, group symposia visit (easychair). Research based and conceptual presentations are welcome.
