QAA Cymru call for expressions of interest in new Collaborative Enhancement Project

QAA Cymru has launched a call for expressions of interest for funding for a new Collaborative Enhancement Project (CEP), funded by Medr through grant arrangements with QAA.

CEPs are projects in which groups of providers work collectively on matters of mutual interest which have the potential to bring sector-wide value once complete. They are aimed at promoting collaborative approaches to the enhancement of quality in learning, teaching, assessment and the learner experience.

Project groups report on progress to QAA Cymru and are expected to share learning from their activity. Projects are supported by QAA Cymru, through Medr grant funding.

‘This is our fourth annual CEP call for Wales,’ explains QAA Cymru's Holly Thomas. ‘We're excited to be working with Medr to support this work. We've seen some brilliant projects since we launched the scheme in 2021 - and look forward to supporting the sector to collaborate in priority areas.’
