The  aim  of  this  Staff  Training  Week  is  to welcome  both  teaching  and  non-teaching  staff  from  our 
partner institutions and share experiences with regard to the following theme: “Quality Assurance in 
Higher Education: Best Practices, Challenges and Opportunities”. 
  
Our proposed program consists out of different workshops and visits to the departments according 
to the participants’ areas of interest.  
 A  preliminary  agenda  has  been  devised;  a  more  specific  and  detailed  programme  will  be  sent  in
