In 2024, ENQA became the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education with a twofold aim, to: (1) contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of the quality of European higher education, and (2) act as a major driving force for the development of quality assurance across all the Bologna Process signatory countries.

ENQA focuses on three main goals: (1) representing the interests of quality assurance agencies; (2) providing services to members and other stakeholders; and (3) driving the development of external quality assurance.

To accomplish its work, ENQA works on topics important to external quality assurance agencies.  Current efforts focus on:

• Online external quality assurance
• Quality assurance of joint programs
• E-learning
• Cross-border quality assurance
• Microcredentials -

ENQA’s approaches include input to policy-making, leading and partnering in projects, coordinating working groups, conducting surveys and consultations, publishing reports, facilitating the sharing of experience, and collaborating with stakeholders.

Examples of ENQA's work include:

• ENQA Leadership Development
  • The program is designed to provide a European peer-to-peer learning experience for mid-potential professional staff and aflliate quality assurance agencies.
• ESG-PBP Alignment
  • The ESG-PBP Alignment project aims to strengthen mutual trust and explore the alignment of ESG and the PBP by determining the degree of concordance and discordance and preparing a joint proposal for potential further alignment of the ESG and PBP.
• FOR-EU4ALL
  • The FOR-EU4ALL project brings current and future European university alliances to foster a collaborative and supportive environment where practices and experiences can be shared.
