The Future of the European Higher Education Area: political relevance and full implementation
Date: Monday, 15 December, 12:30. Venue: Room 203, Monument Building. Lunch snacks will be provided
The Future of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is being discussed in many settings, at the political level and in the academic community. It is expected that the political relevance of the Bologna Process and consolidation of the EHEA are re-affirmed at the upcoming conference of the ministers responsible for higher education of the 47 countries of EHEA, and that full implementation will be pursued. Nevertheless, the European higher education community should also reflect upon the suitability of the EHEA, as a general concept, and about how to tackle present and future challenges. The aim of the talk is to present some reflections on the remaining open issues in the implementation of the EHEA policies and tools, on the challenges that will be faced by the EHEA community in the upcoming period and on the possible actions to tackle them.
