AQA was established as an autonomous institution at the beginning of 2004 at the joint initiative of the Austrian Rectors’ Conference (ÖRK), the Austrian Conference of Universities of Applied Sciences (FHK), the Austrian Union of Private Universities (PU), the Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH) and the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture (BMBWK).
AQA is a non-profit organisation (pursuant to the Austrian Associations Act (Vereinsgesetz) 2002) which offers services to all tertiary educational institutions in Austria but which can also become active in other countries.
The Association currently has four ordinary members (UNIKO, FHK, ÖH, BMWF). An umbrella organisation of Austrian private universities (PUs) and an umbrella organisation of Austrian universities of teacher education (PHs) shall be invited to join as ordinary members. The Association’s executive bodies include the General Meeting (13 delegates) and the Board (5 members). The latter is appointed to a term of two years.
The Scientific Steering Group shall support the quality and the scientific approach of the work carried out by the Agency and shall ensure the independence of its methods. The Scientific Steering Group shall advise the Board and the Management on all matters of quality assurance, giving special consideration to international developments.
