EXERCISE      

 

Turku: In Finland there has been a national obligation for all universities to undergo an evaluation process, but its aims and the choice of methods are the responsibility of individual universities. Turku chose to focus its evaluation on the usefulness and impact of the university on its surrounding region. Continuing Education in the university was placed under an obligation but seized it as an opportunity to develop a quality project.

 

Porto: Faced with a review of continuing education practices which were fragmented across the faculties, the Centre for Continuing Education proposed to produce a guide designed to harmonise approaches and seized on the opportunity afforded by EQUAL to develop a project which would include the aims of the guide.
