QUALITY ASSURANCE

Our goal is to establish a strong Quality Assurance Process for IN.TUNE. 


This process involves two key aspects: 

  • Developing and implementing robust quality assurance measures using both internal and external tools to monitor all IN.TUNE's activities and outcomes. 
  • Exploring ways to align and collaborate more closely in the area of our members’ institutional quality assurance systems. This alignment aims to ensure that our long-term institutional cooperation within IN.TUNE is built on mutual trust in artistic standards and educational quality, fostering continuous improvement. 

The IN.TUNE Quality Assurance Plan includes internal surveys and reports, along with external evaluations facilitated by MusiQuE – a leading music quality assurance agency registered on EQAR. MusiQuE experts will visit activities and provide intermediate and final evaluation reports. 

Additionally, we're proposing closer long-term cooperation in quality assurance processes among partner institutions. This includes a comparative study, an intra-university exchange for external examiners, and a benchmarking system facilitated by MusiQuE experts. These measures aim to ensure mutual trust in artistic standards and educational quality within the alliance. 

IN.TUNE partner Koninklijk Conservatorium – Stichting Hogeschool der Kunsten Den Haag chairs the IN.TUNE Quality Assurance ‘work package’.
