Abstract

About the book: In recent decades, factors such as the diffusion of mass systems of higher eduction and their increasing complexity and differentiation, the tendency to stregthen the autonomy of individual institutions, and the establishment of international exchange and co-operation networks in both research and teaching have strongly favoured the establishment of systems of quality assessment and/or accreditation.

This book is a summary of the presentations at a symposium held in Pavia, Italy, in 2006, in which experts in the field attempt to find some common reference points and discuss the present situation and likely future developments.
