The conference, organized by the Universidade da Coruña, brought together 90 quality-assurance professionals from 43 Spanish universities. It is an annual meeting to exchange information, ideas and good practices related to the central issues that affect the quality of the university system: the AUDIT auditing programme, monitoring of degrees, internal quality assurance systems (SGIC) for PhDs, the DOCENTIA Teaching Performance Assessment program and accreditation procedures for degrees.

Rafael van Grieken, the Director of the Spanish Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), participated in this fourth edition of the conference. He presented the AUDIT certification process and engaged the audience in an open debate.

Núria Casals, María Jesús Castel and Elena Santa María attended the conference in representation of the UIC Educational Innovation and Quality Service. Elena Santa María also gave the talk "Teacher Training as a Result of Teacher Assessment", in which she discussed the procedure followed with UIC professors.
