The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA)
On November 30, 2016, Independent Agency for Accreditation and Rating (IAAR) by decision of the Board of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) received an international European recognition and became the first national accreditation agency that has the status of a full member of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA).
Full membership of ENQA shows that an agency complies with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG 2015). Compliance with the ESG is checked every five years through an independent review by ENQA Review Team.
ENQA was established in 2000 as the European Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education to promote European co-operation in the field of quality assurance.
