Project partners gathered at the University of Salzburg (PLUS) for the JoPScip/PoSIG Accreditation Week, marking a major milestone in the external accreditation process of the Joint MA Programme in Political Science – Integration and Governance (PoSIG).
The first day of the meeting focused on reviewing project progress, discussing strategic developments, enhancing the PoSIG online platform, and coordinating dissemination and implementation activities. Representatives from all partner institutions exchanged experiences and aligned priorities to support the successful delivery of the programme.
A key highlight of the week was the on-site evaluation visit conducted by the AQ Austria review panel. Consortium members participated in discussions with the evaluators, presented the programme’s academic framework, quality assurance mechanisms, and partnership model, and demonstrated the consortium’s commitment to meeting European quality standards.
Accreditation Week provided an important opportunity to reflect on the project’s achievements, strengthen collaboration among partners, and advance the final steps towards the accreditation of the joint master’s programme.
