Representatives of the Agency for Higher Education of the Republika Srpska (AVORS) participated in the meeting of the Global Academic Integrity Network (GAIN) held on October 2, where they discussed the development and implementation of legal solutions related to issues of academic integrity in member countries.The meeting was chaired by Dr. Mary Catherine Lennon from the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board Canada (PEQAB), and on that occasion she welcomed all new members of the network, mainly higher education agencies from the European Higher Education Area.
GAIN was officially launched in October 2022 in Dublin, and the co-founders are the Quality and Qualifications Agency of Ireland (QQI) and the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency of Australia (TEQSA), and the Agency of the Republic Srpske has been a full member of the Network since January 2024.
The network deals with issues of protection and promotion of academic integrity, and exchanges practices between members on procedures for sanctioning and preventing misconduct in the academic community. Recognizing that misconduct in the academic community is a global problem that has long transcended national borders and the legislation of individual countries, GAIN gathers 40 members from countries around the world, both quality assurance agencies and other institutions dealing with higher education issues.
