Expert committees and panels

The selection of the members of the panels and assessment committees within the International Quality Labels Programme adheres to criteria that guarantee the performance of the functions of the Committee to which they belong.

With the aim of ensuring that the experts of a visiting panel are not linked to the university to be evaluated by said panel, a procedure for the selection and challenge of experts has been created.

Technical Committee

The Technical Committee is the body responsible for reviewing the evaluation procedure of the International Quality Labels Programme and is comprised of the person responsible for ANECA's Teaching and Institutional Evaluation Division, the manager/head of ANECA's International Quality Labels Programme, academics with experience in university management and higher education assessment processes, and professionals with experience in the different disciplines of the labels.

Appeals Committees

Review complaints regarding granting/denial of labels and processing of final decision.

Expert panels

The panels of experts (visitors) are responsible for carrying out the visit to the centre where the training programme being assessed is taught in order to obtain the EUROINF, EUROLABEL and Medicine labels based on the WFME standards.

They are made up of at least three members with experience in education quality assessment who represent the academic and/or professional sector. At a minimum, one of them should be from the specific discipline of the programme evaluated.

The agreements of the different panels of experts are reached on the basis of consensus to ensure that decisions are collegiate. In order to facilitate the dissemination of good practices in the assessment for the award of each label, the procedure offers the possibility of incorporating external, national or international observers on the visiting panels.

The procedure establishes the necessary mechanisms so that the persons who make up the panel do not present conflicts of interest with the institution to which the training programme being assessed in order to obtain the EUROINF, EUROLABEL or Medicine labels based on the WFME standards belong.
