HEEACT periodically hosts the "Higher Education Quality Assurance Forum" to establish a platform for dialogue between universities and quality assurance agencies. The objective of the discussion is to drive continuous improvement in the quality of higher education in Taiwan and to inspire innovative and pragmatic strategies for quality assurance.

The third session of the Higher Education Quality Assurance Forum series, titled “Discussion of Institutional Governance and Sustainability through the Perspectives of Institutional Accreditation," was successfully concluded on Tuesday February 18 2025. This session focused on critical issues related to institutional governance observed during institutional accreditation, focusing on two main aspects: 1) how can higher education institutions enhance its quality and effectiveness in response to the demands of social development and institutional development? 2) how can higher education institutions ensure their financial sustainability while maintaining quality and pursuing sustainable development? The discussions highlighted the importance of governing resources and mechanisms, such as institutional research (IR), helping higher education institutions respond to a rapidly changing educational landscape and identify appropriate strategies and approaches to the current challenges. Additionally, the role of internal quality assurance was highlighted as a crucial safeguard for risk management, ensuring that institutions can maintain educational quality, institutional effectiveness, and long-term sustainability.

Through this forum, HEEACT showcased its commitment to fostering meaningful exchanges between universities and quality assurance agencies, facilitating the development of strategic insights to address contemporary challenges in higher education. Looking ahead, HEEACT will continue to promote dialogue and collaboration and support higher education institutions in their pursuit of excellence and sustainable development.
