Summary/Abstract: The study presents the most important phenomena and changes in steering higher education systems and that of university governance of the last decades in Europe. It deals with both the systemic level – means and trends of steering higher education by the national governments, and the institutional level – governance, management. In relation to the governments’ actions, the analysis includes the trends of university autonomy. When discussing university governance, governing bodies and the role of external members are scrutinized. Results indicate that there were no radical changes in the steering and governance of higher education institutions in the last decade – with one exception, Hungary –, but there are several countries where the fine-tuning of the system is still on agenda.
