Our yearly General Assembly & Workshop took place on 2/3 June 2023 in Astana, Kazkhstan, kindly hosted by our member agency IAAR.
The workshop titled “People and Culture in QA Agencies” dealt with various topics related to HR management and staff development, ranging from general questions on the strategic level to specific good practices on how to support staff and create a productive and welcoming working environment. It was opened by an insightful speech of the Kazakh minister for science and higher education, Sayasat Nurbek, who explained current opportunities and internationalisation efforts of higher education in Kazakhstan. The workshop featured presentations by the INQAAHE Immediate Past President, EQAR’s deputy director and two members of the CEENQA community. In a dedicated panel discussion, we debated the consequences of digitalisation for HR management and how agencies could react to these developments.
