As higher education institutions aim to demonstrate their societal relevance, this series explores the link between the third mission - societal engagement - and quality assurance frameworks. We will look at how HEIs integrate societal engagement into their educational, research, and innovation activities, supported by documented procedures for planning, delivery, and improvement. The series will also examine how QA systems address and foster the societal impact of higher education. Featuring both Icelandic and international speakers, the series offers opportunities for peer learning and sharing experiences from Iceland and abroad in embedding societal engagement within higher education quality systems.
