KEY PROJECTS

Our independent senior advisor is entering a trajectory to be trained as NVAO secretary for accreditation panels (Autumn 2026). The NVAO is the respected Dutch Belgium authority for accreditation of degrees.

In this way, we will specifically gain thorough insider understanding of the accreditation criteria, juridical and administrative requirements for bachelor and master degrees at European level.

Also, in practice, we will be enriching our qualitative network within Higher Education in the Netherlands and Europe.
