EQUAMBI is designed to address Quality Assurance management to properly support the governance and decision making required for institutional advancement and enhancement. Based on a comparative exploration of current activities and planned objectives, against international best practice, this Project will provide a ‘benchmarking toolkit’ and a programme of capacity building / dissemination will provide guidance for Indian universities on how best to improve / enhance their governance and management of ‘quality’. Whilst underpinned by agreement on the shared bases and principles for ‘quality’, the project is targeted at three specific and critical areas: teaching and learning; research and innovation; internationalisation.
