ACQA Evaluation Questionnaire Rome Meeting

Questionnaire was formulated to assess quality of information provided prior to the Rome meeting, communication efficiency, delivered tasks, Rome meeting goals and decision-making during meeting.

Project Quality Structure

The external and internal monitoring provides the assessment of different aspects of project implementation, such as efficiency (the WPs are done on time, in line with what is within the project proposal), effectiveness (the project-specific objectives are achieved and the deliverables are produced), impact (at the level of faculty, university, external organization, stakeholders, etc.) and sustainability (after the project’s lifetime some activities have to continue, so as for the process of valorisation of the project‘s deliverables as APLE POP-UP laboratories, courses, studios, etc.).

The internal quality control is managed by the project consortium. The first level of quality assurance should be guaranteed by the project members performing the groups of activities to deliver project tasks and work packages. Each work package is managed by an institution ‘’ WP Leader’’, which is supported by other institutions for each task. Every task, then, will be managed by a ‘’Task Manager’’ who follows and/or supports the WP Leader and facilitates the coordination with the task participants.

A Committee for Quality Assurance (ACQA), composed by a member from each Partner HEI, is identified to represent a parallel quality assurance process that supervises the level of deliverables, outputs, and outcomes.

The ACQA confirms the conformity of a given task with qualitative and quantitative indicators and recommends corrective measures, if necessary, with respect to the project’s Activities and Tasks.

The quality assurance activities will be based on two different types of data:

• – qualitative data (i.e., respect of the defined deadlines and control of indicators)
• – quantitative data (i.e. reports and deliverables like results of questionnaires and interviews).

Data will be gathered among all the direct beneficiaries of APLE, and among the indirect beneficiaries, as students, trainers, non-academic personnel, and stakeholders.
