The European Quality Mark

Current Situation

Distinction between process/ strategy and content Analysis of existing QM and creation of QM EFQUEL hosts creation of EQM: Working Group for

EQM as consensus group EQM is portfolio of quality services:

E-quality and intelligent organisation Scenario for Higher Education and Training

Providers Service-agreements with governments

and/or institutions for quality development and implementation e-learning policy

Europeanisation of national QM De-sectoralise successful

certification/accreditation systems

Next Steps

E-quality: Development on consensus of e-quality (transformation of learning through ICT) as transversal basic concept for EQM quality service portfolio: Greenpaper (Service 1)

Governments/ institutions: Develop consultancy service portfolio for institutional and governmental agreements (Service 3)

De-Sectoralisation/ Europeanisation: Initiate network and consensus with QM providers (Service 4 and 5)

Challenges Currently: Challenge lies in the consensus process rather than

in the content Position EFQUEL as complementary actor and not

as competitor to existing QM: EFQM as consensus forum to create a vision of a EQM

To address the diversity of actors and perspectives in common service portfolios

Future: Productisation and valorisation of EQM service

portfolio
