We are excited to launch a new programme for delivery in 2021. Our Collaborative Enhancement Projects offer funding opportunities for small groups of our member institutions to work together on projects to enhance the quality of the participating institutions' student learning experiences. At the same time, the projects should also develop outputs that will benefit the wider QAA membership and higher education sector.

Upcoming projects in 2021
