The Accreditation Organisation of The Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) is pleased to invite the members of INQAAHE to the biennal workshop (2006) which will be held in The Hague.

The main theme of the workshop is transnational cooperation between agencies and institutions. The NVAO is an international organisation responsible for the accreditation of higher education programmes both in The Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium). We are on a day to day basis confronted with two different higher education systems and two different legal frameworks. To say that the NVAO considers transnational cooperation as a daily routine would however underestimate the challenges this poses.

We hope to welcome you soon and look forward to our fruitful discussions.

Karl Dittrich
