QAA launches new round of CEP funding

QAA has opened the call for funding applications for the latest phase of the Collaborative Enhancement Projects (CEPs) scheme, now entering its sixth year.

Previous projects have generated valuable insights and impacts, as well as significant sector and media interest – and have involved collaborations between providers from across the sector, both in the UK and overseas.

QAA Members can now apply for funding through the CEP scheme to support innovative partnership-led work focused on improving quality assurance and enhancement in UK higher education.

UK and International Members can apply for £3,000 - £15,000 to support the delivery of their projects and to develop insights and knowledge that can be shared with the sector. In Wales, up to two successful project proposals will be jointly funded by QAA and Medr (the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research).

This year’s themes include:

• Embedding quality as a driver of transformational change
• Reimagining quality processes to cultivate excellent practice
• Quality-led transformation in curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment
• Shaping quality futures through cross-sector and international collaboration.

Funding can support a wide range of costs, including student collaboration, research, software, events and knowledge exchange.

In addition to this funding, successful projects gain platforms and networks to share their work across the QAA Membership community and beyond.

You can find out more about our CEPs on our website – where Dr Dom Henri also blogs about their value.

QAA Members can access the application form and full guidance on the Membership Resources site. The application process is open until 20 October.
