The second transnational meeting of the QA-HEVET project took place on February 16-17, 2023, in Upsala, Sweden at Folkuniversitetet. We are grateful to our Colleagues from Folkuniversitetet for the warm welcome and excellent organization of the meeting!

During the meeting it was summarized the current status of the project: the implementation of the project results, the involvement of the various partners, project management issues, quality assurance, and dissemination activities.

In a brief discussion, the partners indicated the most sensitive areas of the project course and the representative of each organization briefly characterized the results of the desk research on the quality assurance schemes in HEIs and VETs in their countries. Participants shared their experiences on the differences, similarities, strengths and weaknesses of the ESG and EQAVET framework.
