HKCAAVQ hosted its first Roundtable of 2025 on 20 January at the Theatre of HKCAAVQ office. Around 40 Council Members and staff participated in a hybrid format.
Mr Douglas Blackstock, one of our non-local Council Members, presented on “Quality Assurance Fit for the Changing World of Higher Education: A Perspective from Europe”. He provided a comprehensive overview of the work of European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), outlined the agency's plans for future development, and delivered an incisive analysis of current challenges in the quality assurance sector. His presentation encouraged a reflective dialogue on potential collaboration between HKCAAVQ and European agencies, followed by an engaging Q&A session that invited the audience to explore the topics in greater depth.
As the Roundtable session concluded, Mr Albert Chow, Executive Director of HKCAAVQ, presented Mr Blackstock with a commemorative souvenir in appreciation of his valuable contributions.
