International Collaborative Enhancement Projects: Funding call opens

Following the success of QAA’s Collaborative Enhancement Projects for members in England, QAA is inviting International Members to submit project proposals for consideration under an International Collaborative Enhancement Project fund.

International Collaborative Enhancement Projects offer funding for groups of member institutions to work together to explore areas of shared interest and engage students. Each project will benefit the partners who are directly involved and should develop outputs that will be useful for our membership more widely.

To lead a Collaborative Enhancement Project, you must be a QAA International Member or International Associate Member. Project partners can be drawn from across the UK, or internationally and should in the main be members of QAA (the scheme permits one non-member institution per collaborative group). Collaborative teams can also include organisations such as a subject association or a professional, statutory and regulatory body (PSRB). There are similar projects running for QAA Members in the UK.

Members are welcome to submit project proposals based on topics they see as a priority. However, we are particularly interested in proposals relating to:

• classifying student achievement
• future approaches to pedagogy
• creating flexible work-based learning pathways
• innovative and evolving quality processes
• evaluation and supporting evidence-based decision making
• enterprise, entrepreneurship and global citizenship.

The deadline to apply for Collaborative Enhancement Project funding is Tuesday 1 November 2022. Further information and the application form are available below. 

We appreciate our international members may not have the contacts within UK institutions and we are happy to facilitate conversations if required. Please contact Ruth Burchell by 7 October 2022 to arrange a discussion.
