The Independent Quality Controller ensures that the project is delivered to the highest standards. This role provides an external, unbiased view on the quality of project activities, outputs, and management processes. The Quality Controller monitors progress, reviews the consistency of deliverables, and verifies compliance with the approved project plan and Erasmus+ requirements.

Throughout the project, the Independent Quality Controller conducts periodic evaluations, identifies risks or deviations, and offers constructive recommendations for improvement. By delivering structured review reports—typically at mid‑term and at the end of the project—the Quality Controller supports transparency, strengthens accountability, and helps the consortium maintain a high level of quality across all work packages.
