INQAAHE welcomes proposals for the upcoming INQAAHE Forum 2026 which will take place in Sun City, Northwest Province (South Africa), from February 3 to 6, 2026. The Forum will be held under the theme Quality Assurance as an Impactful Tool for Tertiary Education Today and Tomorrow and is hosted by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) of South Africa. The deadline for submissions has been extended until October 31, 2025.
The INQAAHE Forum is conversation-driven and practice-oriented. It is designed as a collaborative space where interaction takes precedence. The Forum aims to spark dialogue, foster co-creation, and provide participants with tangible tools, frameworks, and ideas they can apply in their own contexts. For this reason, participants are expected to deliver engaged and interactive sessions. At the Forum, we value shared experience over formal expertise. Whether you are an academic, a QA professional, a student, an employer, or a policymaker, you are invited to contribute your perspective and actively engage in shaping collective solutions.
We are especially keen to receive proposals that:
- Use concrete, real-life examples from quality assurance work
- Encourage participation, co-creation, and problem-solving
- Involve stakeholders beyond academia, such as students and employers
- Highlight transferability of QA practices across regions and contexts
- Demonstrate facilitation skills and foster open dialogue
Information on the submission guidelines are available on the official call. Please, pay attention to the criteria as all proposals will be assessed by these.
Additional details about the event can be found on the official Forum’s website.
For further information and questions regarding the submission of proposals, please contact the INQAAHE Secretariat and/or the host at inqaaheforum2026@che.ac.za.
