This can be seen not only in professionalisation in fields such as faculty management or in areas of quality assurance and internationalisation, but also in the need for exchange and training in academic leadership, such as that of deans or study deans, or of university leadership in general. The Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies (DIES) is addressing this need in emerging countries by building platforms of exchange and offering training courses. Not only is the programme supporting capacity building of human resources, but it is also specifically focusing on inducing change within the universities, such as introducing new instruments or tools in the area of quality assurance and internationalisation, and addressing specific challenges or setting up new structures in the form of projects in the frame of the training. The ‘National Multiplication Trainings’ Programme under DIES is further addressing the sustainability and multiplication of the DIES Programme, that is, alumni are enabled to implement capacity building in higher education leadership and management in their national context. The articles within this volume of the “Potsdamer Beiträge zur Hochschulforschung” (Potsdam Contributions to Higher Education Research) analyse and share the experiences of such training programmes held in Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Malaysia, Kenya, and Uganda. They all revolve around the best ways to address the needs and challenges in higher education leadership and management, and in building capacities in these areas.

Les évaluations institutionnelles des établissements d’enseignement supérieur (EES) et de recherche en 2013 n’ont pas permis d’initier la mise en oeuvre des processus de changement au sein des établissements. Récemment, diverses initiatives ont été lancées pour changer cette situation dans le but de sensibiliser et de renforcer la prise de conscience et les capacités des structures d’assurance qualité dans les EES guinéennes. Jusqu’à présent, l’accent a été mis sur l’amélioration de la qualité dans l’enseignement supérieur, en particulier sur l’évaluation de l’enseignement, l’élaboration des programmes d’études, ainsi que sur la mise en place de structures d’assurance qualité. Cet article donne un aperçu de l’état des lieux et fait le point sur les activités qui ont été lancées pour mettre en place des mécanismes d’assurance qualité dans les établissements d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche, et présente les perspectives de développement de l›approche qualité en Guinée. Le projet «Multiplication de l’assurance qualité 2017 – 2018» sert d’exemple pour décrire les approches et les activités de mise en place de structures stables d’assurance qualité, et pour renforcer et sensibiliser à une «culture de la qualité».

Institutional evaluations of higher education and research institutions in 2013 could not initiate the implementation of change processes within the institutions. Recently, however, various initiatives have been started to change this situation with the purpose to sensitise and raise awareness and capabilities for quality assurance structures in Guinean HEIs. So far, the emphasis has been put on quality enhancement in higher education, especially on teaching evaluation, curriculum development, as well as on establishing quality assurance structures. This article gives an overview of the state of play and takes stock of the activities that have been initiated to set up quality assurance mechanisms in higher education and research institutions, and presents perspectives for further development of the quality approach in Guinea. The project ‘Quality Assurance Multiplication 2017-2018’ serves as an example to describe approaches and activities in setting up stable quality assurance structures, and to strengthen and raise awareness for a ‘quality culture’.
