NIAD-QE presented the outcome of "The CAMPUS Asia Common Quality Assurance Standards Project" with China (Education Quality Evaluation Agency of the Ministry of Education: EQEA) and Korea (Korean Council for University Education: KCUE) at the parallel session of the INQAAHE Biennial Conference 2025, which was held in Tokyo from May 13 to 16, 2025.

The three agencies first introduced the initiatives on quality assurance for university consortiums in the three countries, which they have been collaboratively working on since the launch of the project. Then they presented the background story of establishing "The Common Quality Assurance Standards", its process, and the structure of the "Standards" to the participants from various countries and regions.

This became the first presentation sharing "The Standards" as the main outcome of the project, after its establishment in April, 2025. During the Q&A session, active discussions about utilizing the "Standards" took place and a lot of valuable comments were exchanged.

In addition, the outcome of the project was also presented at the workshop jointly organized by NIAD-QE, the French Embassy in Japan, and the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (Hcéres) in France on May 16. This event aimed to further strengthen inter-university cooperation between France and Japan.

Please see "The Common Quality Assurance Standards" page for the finalized standards.
