The Ukrainian agency for quality assurance in higher education (The National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (NAQA)) has continued its tradition of organizing Ukrainian Quality Assurance Forum (UQAF). In extremely challenging times, the Forum was organized live on 17-18 September 2025 in Lutsk at the Lutsk National Technical University with the possibility of online participation. This year’s UQAF brought together around 1000 participants including representatives of state and public institutions, academia, industry, international experts and representatives of important bodies operating within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Dr. sc. Vesna Dodiković-Jurković, President of the Central and Eastern European Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (CEENQA), participated in the plenary discussion on the topic “Unity and cooperation for the future of Ukrainian education” in an online format.
UQAF, as a place of togetherness, resilience and perseverance, is an expression of commitment to maintaining the continuity of higher education institutions even in the most challenging times, with a constant commitment to improving the quality of higher education in cooperation with the international community through dynamic expert dialogue, practical formats and exchange of experiences.
UQAF-2025 reaffirmed a strong message: the quality of education is a shared responsibility of all stakeholders and only through partnership can a truly competitive higher education system be built in Ukraine.
