  1. EURO-INF creating a Europe-wide accreditation system for Bachelor/Master in Informatics

  2. I. Background II. Precursor: Eur-ACE Project III. euro-INF Project A. Aims B. Partners C. Project Cycle IV. Current Status Overview

  3. Lisbon-Strategy: „European Knowledge Society“ Bologna Process: Creation of a European Higher Education Area (EHEA) until 2010 Transnational recognition of degrees Informatics as Discipline: New, rapidly developing subject area, access to professionalism less regulated Formalised accreditation of informatics programmes existing at least in GER, I and GB. I. Background

  4. I. Background II. Precursor: EUR-ACE Project III. euro-INF Project A. Aims B. Partners C. Project Cycle IV. Current Status Overview

  5. II. Precursor: The EUR-ACE Project • Creation of a European system for accreditation of Engineering education, followed by: • Formation of the ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education) • exchange of information on new developments • administration of accreditation system

  6. Context: International Accreditation Networks, Generic Global Scale INQAAHE International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education ENQA European Network for Quality Assurance European Scale More than 40 members in Europe, mostly Quality Assurance/Accreditation Agencies + National Unions of Students in Europe (ESIB), European University Association (EUA), European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE), European Centre for Higher Education (UNESCO-CEPES) and the Union of Industrial and Employers’ Confederations of Europe (UNICE). ECA European Consortium for Accreditation Österreichischer Akkreditierungsrat, Austria; Fachhochschulrat, Austria; Akkreditierungsrat, Germany; ZEvA, Germany; FIBAA,Germany; ACQUIN, Germany; AQAS, Germany; AHPGS, Germany; The Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC), Ireland; Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatie Organisatie (NVAO), the Netherlands/Flanders; Nasjonalt organ for kvalitet i utdanningen (NOKUT), Norway; Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditación (ANECA), Spain; Organ für Akkreditierung und Qualitätssicherung der Schweizerischen Hochschulen (OAQ), Switzerland

  7. Context:International Accreditation Networks Field Specific Washington Accord Incl. 2 members of ENAEE Global Scale European Scale ENAEE („EUR-ACE“-Label) European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education EQUIS/EQUAL/EFMD European Quality Improvement System WFMEWorld Federation for Medical Education Euro-Inf European Chemistry Thematic Network Association ECTN (Eurobachelor-Label) European Chemistry Thematic Network Association leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration Regional offices in Africa, The Americas, Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, South East Asia, Western Pacidfic European funded project to jolint European accreditation standards and a qualification framework for accreditation of informatics / computer-science education More than200 chemical societies and HE EEurope All European Engineering Accreditation Agencies + FEANI, SEFI, CESAER, EUROCADRE S etc.

  8. I. Background II. Precursor: EUR-ACE Project III. euro-INF Project A. Main Goals B. Partners C. Project Cycle IV. Current Status Overview

  9. A. Main Goals create a euro-INF “label” improve the quality of educational programmes in informatics facilitate trans-national recognition facilitate recognition by the competent authorities facilitate mutual recognition agreements III. The euro-INF Project

  10. III. The euro-INF Project B. Project partners • ASIIN (coordinating partner) • CEPIS – European association gathering 36 informatics societies from 32 countries • HAW - University of Applied Sciences Hamburg • University of Paderborn

  11. C. Project Cycle Existing informatics curricula / standards / accreditation systems Creation of a set of framework standards Testing and refinement of the standards Test accreditations (follow-up: accreditation system and label award) III. The euro-INF Project

  12. I. Background II. Precursor: EUR-ACE Project III. euro-INF Project A. Aims B. Partners C. Project Cycle IV. Current Status Overview

  13. Collecting information Drafting a first set of standards on the basis of existing systems Launch of a Euro-Inf Website (www.euro-inf.eu) IV. Current Status
