With the help of project consortium, it will be explored the motivation and barriers for Armenian students to partake in QA on various levels. Project aims to improve the conditions for engagement by raising awareness on the importance of students&#8217; say within the academic community providing capacity building support and by suggesting relevant changes in the legislation\/HEI regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Involvement of HEIs from the EU countries as well as the number of home institutions will send a clear signal to the academic community about the benefits of students&#8217; engagement in quality processes. Partnership with the QA authority and the Ministry of Education and Science will ensure that outcomes of the project will be accessible to the decision-makers and will influence their agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESPAQ project offers a holistic approach responding the current needs of the Armenian students and HE system as a whole:<br>\u2022 Support students to engage at all levels in enhancing their learning experience<br>\u2022 Support the development of practices and activities in HEIs and their local student associations that encourage student engagement<br>\u2022 Support student engagement with national decision-makers and relevant agencies (QA agency)<br>\u2022 Encourage the development of culture of student participation in Armenia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partners<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>University of Macerata(IT) \u2013 UNIMC<\/li><li>The National Union of Students in Europe (BE) \u2013 ESU\/ESIB<\/li><li>Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (ES) &#8211; UNIR<\/li><li>Spiru Haret University (RO) \u2013 SHU<\/li><li>National Union of Students Scotland \u2013 NUSS (UK) \u2013 SPARQS<\/li><li>Armenian State University of Economics (AM) \u2013 ASUE<\/li><li>Armenian State Pedagogical University after Khachatur Abovyan (AM) \u2013 ASPU<\/li><li>Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts (AM) \u2013 YSAFA<\/li><li>State Engineering University of Armenia(Polytechnic) (AM) \u2013 SEUA<\/li><li>National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia (AM) &#8211; NUACA<\/li><li>Armenian National Student\u2019s Association (AM) \u2013 ANSA<\/li><li>National Center for Professional Education QA Foundation (AM) \u2013 ANQA<\/li><li>Ministry of Education and Science (AM) \u2013 MoES<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong>&nbsp;01\/12\/2013 to 30\/11\/2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a project co-funded by the Tempus Programme of the EU.
