ASIIN Global University Network of Excellence (AGUNE)
In the almost 25 years of its existence, ASIIN has built up a large international clientele. There is a long-standing cooperative relationship with many national and international universities in the establishment and development of internal university quality management. In order to further strengthen ASIIN's international activities, we are taking one step further by establishing an international university network within the framework of a continuous exchange (through annual meetings, joint conferences, individual discussion contacts etc.), which
- contributes to a better mutual understanding of national and international educational policy discussions and decisions in higher education and in the field of academic quality assurance;
- opens up ways to take appropriate account of international developments in the field of quality assurance in the tertiary (and quaternary) education sector in the development of criteria and the implementation of procedures;
- acts as multipliers of ASIIN's understanding of quality in the respective countries where higher education institutions are located; and
- provides international experts for ASIIN's review panels and committees in line with the ESG.
An international network of universities sharing a common understanding of quality and fundamental values guiding quality assurance
