Special and Extension Programs The emergence of the ‘evaluative state’ (Neave 1988) across Europe is leading to rapid changes in quality control. Some of these processes are emerging from the Bologna Process, others from supranational trends such as the publication of university ratings. This workshop will explore the new quality control mechanisms emerging across Europe, and how they affect universities either in Europe or in the ‘neighbourhood’ as Europe, and in particular the UK, exports its quality control approaches. The workshop will explore the global policy context, examine accreditation and quality control in the US, then consider the UK approach to accountability and end with the ‘ratings war’ now emerging globally. It will then turn to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of thinking about quality in these new terms in your institution: what do you need to know? What do you need to do? How can you balance your academic traditions with the new rhetoric of quality?
Speakers: Sophie Howlett (CEU); Liviu Matei (CEU); Matyas Szabo (CEU); Tatiana Yarkova (CEU)
