About INQAAHE

The International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) is a worldwide association of organizations that is active in the theory and practice of quality assurance (QA) in higher education (HE). 

​INQAAHE is a QA community, with shared interests, a common language, and an understanding of how things are done with regard to a very specific field of work. It provides a forum for the discussion of global issues that go beyond national or regional boundaries, such as cross-border education. Members have the opportunity to learn from what others are doing, both from their successes and their failures, and thus have now set the ground for the development of a QA profession.
