The CIEP, CTI and Hcéres are pleased with the work they have carried out jointly with a view to bringing together, with the CEFDG and the CCN-IUT, the main organisations involved in quality assurance in France and to presenting the situation to representatives of foreign agencies at the inaugural lecture to the Annual General Meeting of the European Association of Quality Assurance agencies (ENQA) on 25 October.

The French Office for Research Integrity (OFIS) has been set up as a department of Hcéres. The Research Integrity Council (CIS), chaired by Olivier Le Gall, guides and supervises its work.

Hcéres’ membership of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and its listing in the European Register (EQAR) have been renewed for a period of 5 years. This European recognition marks the culmination of an evaluation process started in 2015.
