Checklist of quality aspects The checklist is intended to aid subpanels when reading self-evaluation reports and formulating questions for the site visit. The listed aspects are cornerstones in the KTH quality assurance policy as well as key elements in the EAE self-evaluation process. KTH would therefore appreciate the subpanel’s feedback on these aspects.
