SMARTT meeting with DG EAC, Ministries and Quality Agencies SMARTT meeting with DG EAC, Ministries and Quality Agencies ============================================================= General 12 June 2023 The SMARTT project conducted a significant meeting with **key stakeholders**, including **DG EAC**, **Ministries, and Quality Agencies**. The purpose of this meeting was to present the progress, share insights, and gather valuable![](/storage/files/smartt-civis-ec-ministiries-qa-june-2023-2.png) feedback and best practices from experts and policymakers in the field of European higher education. The meeting began with an introduction to the **SMARTT project's goals and objectives**. The SMARTT team presented the milestones achieved thus far, which included successful clustering and a methodological approach and analysis of existing international programme EUROSUD. The presence of **Yan-Maël Bideau**, [Policy Officer at the European Commission](https://be.linkedin.com/in/yann-maël-bideau-525bb359), played a pivotal role in the meeting, highlighting the **importance of ensuring the quality and credibility of HE international programmes**. The insights provided by Mr. Bideau on the Commission's pilot initiative and its objectives added significant value to the meeting clarifying to the attendees the aim of the piloting. The insights and ideas collected during this meeting will serve as valuable input for the SMARTT project's future endeavours. Key suggestions included streamlining credit transfer mechanisms, and fostering synergies between different agencies and stakeholders. ![](/storage/files/smartt-civis-ec-ministiries-qa-june-2023-1.png) **[Learn more about SMARTT](https://civis.eu/en/smartt)** - [ def-smartt-general-information-june2023-ap-ministries-qa.pdf (PDF, 868 KB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/def-smartt-general-information-june2023-ap-ministries-qa.pdf) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-coms-unit-hand-laptop_1-800x600.jpg?token=a1f77b91f6f498d995a4442378a7d49b)UNIL and the City of Lausanne join forces to shape the future of digital public services CIVIS Highlights 17 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/unil-and-the-city-of-lausanne-hand-in-hand-for-shaping-the-future-of-digital-public-services) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ub-microbiome-800x600.jpg?token=840fb7f759e8d4748f74e07cf8534e12)“Invisible lives inside our bodies shape our health and well-being”, UB's microbiologist highlights CIVIS Highlights 15 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/invisible-lives-inside-our-bodies-shape-our-health-and-well-being-ub-s-microbiologist-highlights) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-waves-800x600.jpg?token=4ea7a62e44f510793d7d4762d1bfd7d0)Make Some Waves: CIVIS Launches New Podcast Series Communication and Dissemination 7 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/make-some-waves-civis-launches-new-podcast-series) [Discover all our stories](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ The second edition of the European Student Assembly 2023 through the eyes of CIVIS students ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-second-edition-of-the-european-student-assembly-through-the-eyes-of-civis-students >) [ CIVIS joins universities and research organisations across Africa and Europe in call for a new cross-mediterranean cooperation framework ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/civis-joins-universities-and-research-organisations-across-africa-and-europe-in-call-for-a-new-cross-mediterranean-cooperation-framework >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
