AUN-QA was established to promote the harmonization of educational standards and continuous improvement of academic quality among universities in the ASEAN region. Its activities are guided by the Bangkok Accord, which was adopted in 2000 and outlines the principles for developing a quality assurance system to maintain, improve, and enhance the overall academic standards of AUNB member universities.  To achieve its mission, AUN-QA conducts quality assessments for higher education institutions that are part of its network.   https://www.aunsec.org/discover-aun/thematic-networks/aun-q
