Coimbra, 07 Dec (Lusa) – The European Alliance of Associations in fields such as Engineering or Food Science and Technology, chaired by Rui Costa of Portugal, Professor Escola Superior Agrária (ESA) of Coimbra, defines quality criteria for higher education. courses.

The alliance called EASPA, founded in Düsseldorf, Germany in 2011, currently brings together eight European associations – in the fields of engineering, chemistry, food science and technology, business, biology or music, among others – that assess educational programs educational institutions that have arisen in connection with the need to define quality criteria at the European and international level.

In a conversation with Lusa, the food technology professor explained that although each country has its own national agency for accrediting higher education courses – Portugal has A3ES, a government-established foundation, without which they cannot function, at a European level “for certain areas have developed special criteria that are not accepted by national agencies. “

“And very often institutions, when they want recognition for quality in a particular area, in addition to what they require at the national level, turn to our association,” said Rui Costa.

“For example, Ordem dos Engenheiros can assess engineering courses, it is associated with an engineering association that is part of EASPA. Our mission is to define the quality criteria for each of the areas of activity of our members, ”said the university professor. Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra.

At the national level, according to Rui Costa, “the evaluators who are invited to the course determine the specific criteria for the course.”

“Assessors now often lack international knowledge in this area, and we advocate that national systems integrate our criteria.”

A situation that, according to Rui Costa, is already happening in the Netherlands and Spain, where quality criteria are used internationally “as a guide for national universities”.

The need to guarantee quality criteria internationally in relation to education was at the heart of the creation of EASPA.

“As a teacher, I want to know what is happening in Lithuania or Germany, how I compare myself with them. Even because the research work that we develop is something that we do all the time. We always check our knowledge, our efficiency. and the quality of research in the international network. If we do this in research, we also want to do it in education, ”says a professor from Agrária.

On the other hand, EASPA members also work outside the European Union: “For an Asian Institute, for example, it is easier to conclude agreements with a European university if it has a European legal personality in terms of quality. “, – stressed.
