Five questions provided the foundation for our discussion:

1. Whether or not there was an intent to commit plagiarism, what might be effective responses from the quality assurance community?
    
2. What is considered plagiarism in one country may be considered acceptable practice in another. How might quality assurance address this?
    
3. What tools or activities might quality assurance bodies create to raise awareness about plagiarism?
    
4. A number of institutions already have processes to identify and act on plagiarism. What might quality assurance do to further enhance an institution’s efforts to address this practice?
    
5. What would be the expected results of effective quality assurance intervention to combat plagiarism

The conversation was led by a respected panel of international experts:
