The study analyses approaches to ensuring the quality of higher education in crisis contexts, considering the impacts of pandemics, wars, and natural disasters on institutional resources and management processes. Based on secondary data from a survey conducted between April and July 2023 with 489 respondents from European countries, significant transformations were identified in universities since the COVID-19 crisis. There was a greater focus on student mental health, the expansion of hybrid learning, and the popularization of remote work among administrative staff. Universities have increased the use of online tools for admissions and digital marketing in communication strategies. In the post-crisis period, there has also been a strengthening of institutional preparedness for emergencies and crisis management. The study pays special attention to the response of European universities to the war in Ukraine and its implications for higher education.
