The first triennial report on progress achieved in quality assurance in higher education analyses the situation at national, European and international level. It suggests areas for further development.
Under the heading ‘Main developments at European and International level’, the report mentions Qrossroads as a good practice.
The report also states: “The Qrossroads experiment, started by ECA with support from the European Commission, may provide a useful point of departure for a much larger scale database. Close cooperation with the NARIC-ENIC28 network is likely to enhance the database’s potential to contribute to the recognition of qualifications and to foster mobility.”
