Since the first Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education in Berlin 2008 (ASEMME1), leaders acknowledged the importance of quality assurance in higher education in order to ensure sustainable growth of today’s society. In the course of the second and third Ministerial Meetings (ASEMME2 and ASEMME3), the Ministers for Education welcomed different country initiatives to strengthen cooperation between Asian and European stakeholders in quality assurance.
According to the Chair’s Conclusions from ASEMME3 In copenhagen 2011, Ministers "laid emphasis on strengthening interregional cooperation in the field of external quality assurance between quality assurance agencies and networks in Asia and Europe by organising joint meetings, with a view to develop common principles of quality assurance across the ASEM education area. Germany offers to host a first expert seminar in 2011. In order to ensure the continuity of the dialogue on quality assurance a seminar will be held in France in 2012. Progress and results will be presented for ASEMME4.
