1. We are

CoQuality is a network of European Third Sector organisations.

Interested in promoting a culture of quality in the sector.

CoQuality was born in 2021, from a key question: ‘What is the current situation of the European Third Sector in terms of quality management?”. In the absence of a common narrative in Europe on this issue, CoQuality, as a collaborative workspace, begins to formulate proposals to investigate and promote quality in the sector.
