The CoF deadline for 2015 International Workshop on Higher Education Reform, addressing the theme 'Policies and Practice of Quality Assurance and Control in Higher Education', has been extended to 5th May. Proposals of up to 400 words (for papers) and 800 words (for panels) may be sent to HER2015@163.com. Visit the conference website here.

In common with the approach of previous HER Workshops, the 2015 event will provide an opportunity for comparative analysis and discussion of these and related issues. Proceedings and a selection of papers and panel presentations will be published. Papers and panels that address the following areas are welcome:

• policies on quality assurance and control;
• definitions and standards of academic ‘quality’;
• what is evaluated and for what purposes;
• methodologies of quality control and its relevance for the content of academic programs; &
• the relevance and usefulness of quality assurance and control for various stakeholders (e.g. students, employers & Higher Education funders).

Dublin City University is delighted to be hosting the 2016 HER conference.
