ARQA is an ENQA affiliate (The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education).

The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education was established in 2000 as the European Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education to develop cooperation between European countries in this field. The impetus for the creation of such an organization was the European pilot project on quality assessment in higher education (1994-1995), during implementation of which the importance of the exchange of experience in the field of quality assurance came to the fore. The idea of European cooperation in the field of quality assurance in higher education was supported by the European Council, which was reflected in the Recommendations of the European Council dated September 24, 1998 and the Bologna Declaration (1999). In November 2004, the General Assembly of the network decided to rename the organization the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education.
