As you have red in our previous newsletters, the German accreditation agency ASIIN was chosen to verify and certify our master programme innovation management. After the training with ASIIN experts in September 2013 and the four accreditation workshops from November 2013 to January 2014 the final version of the accreditation application was finished and submitted to ASIIN in March 2014. In June a two days on-site accreditation visit was organized to evaluate the environment, students and teachers of the master programme that needs to be accredited. The accreditation team consisted of four external German auditors and one representative from ASIIN who attended the visit in Tunis. Based on a given agenda, the auditors talked to the teachers and students of the master programme, had a close look at some project studies and master theses and got an impression from the universities and our DICAMP library. Currently we are waiting for a detailed report of the visit but so far the impression from the auditors was positive. They already suggested some points within the programme that need to be improved by providing more detailed information which will be done until the end of August. We are looking forward to working on the discussed points in order to ensure the quality of the programme.
