dc.description.abstract	This presentation, delivered by Christopher Maidment during the AESOP Head of Schools Meeting 2025, outlines the goals, structure, and evolution of AESOP’s Quality Recognition (QR) program. Emphasizing a collaborative, reflective, and qualitative approach to assessing spatial planning education, the talk explains the 14 evaluation criteria used in the QR application process, including program distinctiveness, spatial justice, pedagogy, and innovation. Chris discusses the role of peer feedback, iterative evaluation, and dissemination of best practices, while also addressing the potential synergies between national accreditation systems and AESOP’s recognition process. The session concludes with contributions from other participants reflecting on the process as a tool for institutional self-assessment and improvement, reinforcing the value of QR as more than just a certificate—rather as a catalyst for meaningful dialogue and advancement in planning education across Europe.	en
