ATGENDER

Tuning Validation Conference

During the first ATGENDER conference held at Amazone in Brussels, the Tuning Validation Conference set by the ATHENA3 had its evaluation session on February 18, 2010. The Validation Panel members discussed and assessed the Gender Studies Tuning Brochure. The Brochure is the result of over a decade of intensive cooperation and exchange in Gender Studies in Europe through the ATHENA network and crucial tool for a quality assessment in Gender Studies Teaching Programmes prepared according to the Tuning Methodology (Tuning is an EC-sponsored programme for Quality Assessment in Higher Education). In the afternoon the Tuning Validation Panel members reported back to the ATGENDER conference participants on their preliminary, very positive, findings. The comments and suggestions given should serve the enhancement of the already well assessed and evaluated document.
