The association was founded in Patras, Greece in 1990. It has the status of a non-profit international association under Belgian law. The European association is formed by 60 members and serves more than 550 Higher Education institutions located mainly inside the EHEA and including institutions from Egypt, India and Armenia.[1][2]
It is a consultative member of the Bologna Process,[3] a member of the Bologna Follow-up Group and of its board. It also cooperates with other representative organisations involved in European higher education such as the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, European University Association, and European Students' Union.
EURASHE organizes workshops, webinars and networking events for the Higher Education community, such as its working groups on research and micro-credentials. In 2022, the association launched three Communities of Practice to offer a space for learning and sharing good practices among higher education professionals. These are focused on Research (relaunched in 2022), Quality Assurance and Skills.
