Abstract Text Clemens Mader provides a distinct insight of potentials that assessment and quality management have in the sustainability transformation of the nexus of higher education, society and policy. Focusing on transformative assessment of processes, Mader explores cases from Europe, Africa and Asia. As a consequence he describes key principles of assessment for transformation that can be applied in any HEI system or culture. Mader concludes with a systemic model that draws attention to the iterative process of transformation assessment and outlines the role of quality management and assessment in scaling HEI sustainability initiatives from institutional to HEI system-wide, social, and policy level.
