The Network of Universities of Small Countries and Territories (NUSCT) has launched a Working Group on Quality Assurance, in which all of the members of the Network are participating. NUSCT is headed by the University of Andorra and has 11 members from 10 territories: Andorra, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Montenegro, and the Republic of San Marino.

The objective of the WG is to inventory and share the quality assurance tools that members employ, to internally benchmark these, and to identify processes and instruments that should ideally be adopted to ensure that all universities are optimally equipped to attain their mission and to meet stakeholders’ highest expectations, both in normal and in exceptional situations and environments.

The deliverable of this Working Group will be a document with recommendations to all NUSCT members on how best to maintain the highest level of Quality Assurance across the Network.
