On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, ENQA published this publication to celebrate the accomplishments in the quality assurance of European higher education from the early 1990’s until 2010. The authors of this publication, Dorte Kristoffersen who was already a member of the steering group of the European Pilot Projects, and the first three Chairmen and Presidents Christian Thune, Peter Williams and Bruno Curvale, bring their individual views to the history and present position of ENQA. The publication gives an overview of ENQA’s major milestones and identifies opportunities and challenges for the next decade.
