Dr Silvia Brandi, Quality Enhancement Advisor, recently attended the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Li猫ge, Belgium, as part of the Erasmus+ staff mobility programme, where she engaged with Li猫ge's quality enhancement and assurance unit known as Service de Management et d鈥橝ccompagnement de la Qualit茅 (SMAQ).
This was a very rewarding developmental experience which gave keen insights into their policies, procedures, and practices that underpin a robust quality culture within the university. By shadowing colleagues within SMAQ, Silvia gained invaluable insights into their well-established programme review process and witnessed firsthand their transition to a new faculty and institutional-based evaluation approach.
Some parallels between UCC and Li猫ge were noted, not only in the size of the institution but also in their shared values. Both institutions, members of the UNIC European 深夜亚洲福利久久 Alliance of Post-Industrial Cities, are advocates for sustainability and Equality Diversity and Inclusion, laying a solid groundwork for potential collaboration and networking.
Reflecting on her experience, Silvia expressed profound enjoyment and inspiration from her time spent in Li猫ge. From refreshing her use of the French language, to participating in internal meetings, including those with the Belgian national quality agency (AEQES), every moment was both enriching and enlightening.
Overall, Silvia's journey to Li猫ge not only broadened her professional horizons but also fostered meaningful connections and insights that promise to enhance UCC's quality standards and institutional ties.
