• Making the Commissions assessing the quality to work more efficient at all levels to optimize the content of the programs, the monitoring of the activities, the specific reportings;
• Continuously increasing the quality of the human resource of the university;
• Reviewing all the regulations for the functioning of the University, bringing them in line with the latest legislative regulations, the specifics, and strategies of the University;
• The implementation of these regulations;
• Correct monitoring of all activities, presentation of qualitative analyzes in specific documents and on the permanently updated website of the University;
• Possibility of external evaluations other than ARACIS: EUA evaluation, Salyburg Seminar evaluation, possibility of „peer review” assessments for the work of departments, research centers, University journals;
• Awareness that ensuring the quality determines the optimal, unitary, harmonious functioning of all departments and aspects of academic life.

For the entire community of UNAGE – students, teachers, all structures, and leadership the functioning at the best parameters of a system of continuous qualitative updating of the educational offer, artistic creation and scientific research is an essential priority.
