Resum

Unibasq is the Basque University System Quality Assurance Agency. Created in 2004, its evolution, as for other agencies, is parallel to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). In this article, we analyze the Unibasq evolution, the legal framework changes, the presente situation and the future vision. The evolution reflects the continuous increase of its activity and its consolidation as advisor in the Basque University System. The changes in the legal framework countersign the agency’s values, independence and objectivity and have enabled its European recognition. Finally, we present the main lines of the Strategic Plan 2016-19, based on procedures simplification, social projection of the university activity, assessment and support for the Basque universities internationalization and, naturally, also on the agency improvement. The good reception of the strategic plan by the stakeholders endorses and secures the agency vocation of being recognized by the higher education institutions, the university community and the society as a supporter of the quality, internationalization and social projection in the Basque University System.
