New collaboration agreement with Ukrainian National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance

National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (Ukraine), NAQA, and the Swedish Higher Education Authority, UKÄ, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in October 2023.

The memorandum is a formalisation of cooperation between the two agencies and means to facilitate cooperation through consultations, information exchange and joint activities in the field of higher education quality assurance. Both organisations will work to create the necessary conditions for cooperation.

"During these times, it is of growing significance to foster collaboration across international borders. I am happy to announce that we have formalized an agreement for cooperation with NAQA.
NAQA's operational methods and their ability to adapt their activities in the challenging circumstances faced by Ukraine evokes a profound admiration for their work. I am firmly convinced that there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from their experiences. Should we have the opportunity to exchange our own insights and extend our support to them, we would welcome it wholeheartedly."
– Annika Pontén, acting head of the Swedish Higher Education Authority.
