INQAAHE has announced an extension of the deadline for the submission of proposals for the Innovation and Research Award, 2025–2026 edition. The new deadline to submit applications is 30 April 2026.
This call is part of the INQAAHE Funding Scheme (IFS), an initiative aligned with INQAAHE’s 2023–2027 Strategic Plan, which focuses on two key goals:
- advancing research in quality assurance, and
- strengthening the capacity of INQAAHE members.
To support these objectives, the Network launched the IFS as a competitive funding mechanism that supports members’ research and innovative projects aimed at improving quality assurance systems globally. The scheme also includes a separate call dedicated to Capacity Building initiatives.
Through this inclusive and award-winning programme, INQAAHE seeks to recognize excellence, empower researchers to produce high-quality work, and promote the global dissemination of research findings, ultimately fostering innovative solutions to challenges in tertiary education and quality assurance.
The Innovation and Research Award 2025–2026 is open to individuals and teams from organizations that are INQAAHE members (Full, Associate, or Affiliate Members).
Interested members are invited to submit their complete applications to the INQAAHE Secretariat by 30 April 2026. Further details can be found in the Call for Papers available below.
