Abstract	This chapter summarises the rationales and impacts of the national reforms of the six countries selected (Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands and Portugal) and complements it with a literature review on reforms in these and other EU countries. The reforms emerge as having been inspired by endogenous processes -- with or without a well-articulated national development strategy. The principal reform pillars are constants, but their relative weight differs. Likewise, the sequence of reforms varies significantly, and the implementation of their corresponding reform measures often follows a nonlinear course. The involvement of stakeholders in smaller governance bodies is a shared feature, but the way in which they are recruited and their legitimacy is an important source of disparity. In all the countries, the general trend is clearly from election to the appointment of the rector or president, to strengthen the line management and reduce the influence of collegiate bodies. The cases reveal some divergences in relation to their funding mechanisms, above all as concerns the amount of competitive funding as leverage for achieving more relevant results and in relation the importance of the regional alliances and institutional mergers. Additionally, the quality assurance and the status of academic staff -- characterised by alternative strategies with regard to the nature and timing of the introduction of new contracts -- are another pillars of the reform processes. Finally, the six expert reports show that a qualitative evaluation of the reform impacts is possible, and despite the need of adjustments, they evaluate positively the national governance reforms.
