The European Network of Heads of Schools of Architecture
(ENHSA) aims to create a support framework
for European schools of architecture to aid their integration
in the European Higher Education Area. According to the project,
Heads and Academic Program Coordinators undertake to coordinate
a series of academic activities (allocated to the appropriate
teaching staff). The purpose of the project actions is to establish
an academic dialogue and to collect valuable information on
the burning issues of contemporary architectural education in
Europe such as: the compatibility of studies and diplomas awarded,
the formation of a broadly accepted set of competences and criteria
for the definition of quality in architectural studies and research;
the facilitation of the mobility of students through the ECTS
development in architectural studies; the improvement of the
mobility of staff and ideas between schools; the preservation
of the identity and the unique characteristics of each school
in its given social, cultural, academic and legal context. Through
its action (meetings, conferences, workshops, inquiries and
publications) the network invites schools of architecture to
anticipate their European future collectively and to collaborate
on the definition of targets, aims, objectives, values and strategies
for their academic development in the European Higher Education
Area.
