On Friday, 3 September 2021, the FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Committee (FACC) met for the third time.

After the managing director, Mag.^a Freiberger, reported on the area of the operational business of FIBAA at the beginning of the meeting, discussions and decisions on national and international procedures followed. The areas of programme accreditation and certification of continuing education courses were represented as well as the area of institutional accreditation.

Three processes that received a FIBAA Premium Seal deserve special mention. The MCI Management Center Innsbruck was awarded two Premium Seals - one Seal for the institutional audit and another for the institutional accreditation focusing on the strategic management of the university. In the area of programme accreditation, the FH Joanneum was able to particularly impress the expert panel and the committee with its degree programme DiplomingenieurIn - International Industrial Management. It also received the FIBAA Premium Seal.

Another interesting point is certainly the number of international procedures for the award of the FIBAA seal. A total of 14 international study programmes and two international higher education institutions were accredited by the FACC in its third meeting.

The Managing Director, Mag.^a Diane Freiberger, and the Chairman of the Committee, Prof. Jürgen Weigand, thanked the Committee members for the pleasant and constructive cooperation and an effective meeting.

The next meeting of the FACC will take place on 26 November 2021.
