Quality congress

The EOQ congress, yearly organised since 1956 by a National Representative in his/her country, is a showroom for the EOQ and its worldwide network. It offers quality organizations a platform and a unique opportunity to learn and network.

In 2026, the year in which we celebrate the 70th anniversary of EOQ, our congress will take place in Prishtina, Kosovo. It promises to be another exceptionally engaging and inspiring edition.

Under the dynamic motto “Shaping Quality for a Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Future”, highly qualified leaders in the field of quality will present a wide range of insights, practical examples, and forward‑looking ideas.

For this annual event, eagerly anticipated by many, we are pleased to welcome you to the UBT University Campus in Prishtina. This modern and inspiring environment provides the ideal setting for a congress that places quality in all its dimensions at the forefront.

The team of QK, the EOQ National Representative in Kosovo, is committed to preparing this edition with the utmost care, ensuring an exceptionally well‑organized and unforgettable experience.

We warmly invite you to take part in this unique event and help shape the future of quality.

We can also share -with proud- some impressions from last years congress in Oslo (Norway) on 12 and 13 June, which was successfully organised with the support of QRN, was once again a particularly fascinating and enriching experience. Old relationships were renewed and people expanded their networks within their area of expertise.

We welcomed nearly 300 participants from 27 countries. Fifty-two speakers from 24 different countries gave fascinating presentations on the theme of quality and how we must continuously innovate this concept and our methods. The fact that artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in this was, of course, also clearly emphasised.

During the festive evening banquet, the European Quality Leader certificates were presented to the winner and finalist. There were also two highly qualified winners of the George Borel Award this year. 
A nice touch that characterised the atmosphere of this highly efficient yet warm and friendly Scandinavian conference was that, in addition to a completely emptied ice cream machine, 2,000 cups of coffee were served during the two-day event.

Explore a few more mood images of the well‑attended and highly engaging congress program and we can also look back at the  2024 edition in Reims, France with 300 participants and 78 speakers.
