The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) is an umbrella organisation which represents its members at the European level and internationally, especially in political decision making processes and in co-operations with stakeholder organisations.

On the 23rd October 20202, ENQA hosted a webinar which explored the use of indicators in higher education and specifically quality assurance. Participants heard the main findings of a study conducted by the European University Association (EUA) which looked at how indicators are used in rankings, external quality assurance, and funding formulae. ENQA member agencies contributed to the study by responding to a survey on the use of indicators in their external quality assurance activities. This presentation was complemented by responses and case examples from ENQA members and a discussion with speakers and participants on the opportunities and challenges in using indicators.
