Note: our thanks to the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) for the funds to create this map, and to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Cartography Lab for creating it. Further details on the Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area are available here and here.
It was very interesting to note how many countries were a part of the process since the beginning, and how many joined later. The fact that most of Europe is involved in this shows a great commitment to increasing the quality of education across all countries and increasing collaboration between universities across the globe.
The Bologna process is a good example of how higher education networking can be successful. This type of collaboration is a step toward improving the quality of education.
Interesting. So basically, Kosovo and Belarus are left.
I have been pushing for a similar apporach to Bologna in my Latin American countries for quite a while now, but without the “competencies” system. In any case, I think the world is heading for a great deal of flexible standardization (an oximoron, or a cherished dream?) in the near future.
Thank you Kris and Susan for sharing!
