The Board of Directors of INQAAHE presents this call for proposals to host the INQAAHE Forum 2028 and seeks expressions of interest from member agencies.
The INQAAHE Forum is a biennial gathering of quality assurance professionals from around the world to discuss emerging issues and best practice in higher education quality assurance. The event offers an enhancement platform for QA professionals and HE policymakers and other key stakeholders and features pre-Forum workshops, a Regional Networks meeting, a 2-day Forum around emerging issues delivered through interactive learning sessions, networking events, and an INQAAHE General Assembly meeting.
Agencies interested in hosting the event should note that it is not the practice to hold events in the same region or continent where a recent INQAAHE Conference or Forum took place. Considering the venues for the INQAAHE annual events for, at least, the last ten years, preferences for hosting the INQAAHE Forum 2028 will be given to the following regions:
- Latin America and the Caribbean
- North America
- Western Europe
There will be a three-step process for members interested in hosting the INQAAHE Forum 2027:
- Preliminary Proposal: Submission of a brief proposal, including a letter of intent and responses to specific criteria, to the INQAAHE Secretariat. The Board will review the proposal and decide whether to proceed to the next step.
- Full Application: Submission of a comprehensive application addressing all outlined requirements. The INQAAHE Secretariat will review applications for completeness before presenting them to the Board. The Board may request additional information if necessary.
- Presentation and Voting: Complete applications will be distributed to INQAAHE members for voting at the General Assembly Meeting.
The preliminary proposal must be submitted electronically using this application form to INQAAHE Secretariat by October 31, 2025.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact INQAAHE Secretariat.
