6.1. Reporting changes to the EMOS Board
Once the EMOS label is awarded by the ESSC, the EMOS Board should routinely be consulted about any changes to the labelled programme. An email with the proposed changes should be sent to the EMOS Secretariat at ESTAT-EMOS@ec.europa.eu, which will inform the Board members. The Board will proceed to evaluate whether the changes are in line with EMOS Guide and EMOS learning outcomes requirements.
In case of major deviations of the EMOS-labelled master´s programme from the EMOS Guide and EMOS learning outcomes, the relabelling process will have to be carried out once again before the label expires.
6.2. Annual reporting
Each year, EMOS-labelled master’s programmes fill in an annual reporting questionnaire prepared by the EMOS Secretariat. The questionnaire collects information on enrolled students and successful graduates of the programme, evaluation of EMOS activities, the overall assessment of the academic year, completed internships, master´s theses and research topics. The annual questionnaire is also a tool for the systematic collection of information on changes introduced to the EMOS‑labelled programmes during the reporting year.
The EMOS Secretariat prepares an analysis of the responses and an annual report, which is shared with the EMOS Board.
6.3. Relabelling process
The EMOS label is awarded for five years. To renew their EMOS label, master’s programmes are requested to submit information on their motivation, plans to develop their programmes, teaching and coursework addressing the EMOS learning outcomes. This information is collected through a dedicated section of the annual reporting questionnaire. The EMOS Board members examine the received feedback and assess whether the proposed programme continue to fulfil the requirements for the award of the EMOS label for the next 5-year period.
