In the 1990s European States launched various quality assurance actions such as the Experimental Evaluation Program (1992-1994) and the European Pilot Project (1994) followed by the ‘Recommendation on European cooperation to guarantee the quality of higher education’ (1998).

Spain has supported this great European civic project called the Bologna Process since the beginning. It has established all the institutional and legal foundations required to implement a university system capable of training people with civic spirit, intellectual principles and professional capacities that are recognised both within Europe and beyond its borders.
