UNESCO CHAIR OF GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Round Table

Processing the Bologna Process: Current Losses and Future Gains

5 - 6 March 2010,
The Conference Hall of the Rectorate, University of Zagreb
Trg Maršala Tita 14, Zagreb

Organized by the University of Zagreb UNESCO Chair of Governance and Management of Higher Education group (Matko Barišić, Pavel Gregorić, Ksenija Grubišić, Helena Jasna Mencer, Marko Rogošić, Hrvoje Šikić and Ksenija Turković), with generous assistance of Aleksa Bjeliš.

The Bologna process is arguably the greatest educational experiment in European history. Hundreds of institutions of higher education from 46 countries have been undergoing simultaneous and coordinated reform of infrastructure, curriculum, teaching methods, and academic ethos, all with the aim of achieving the European Higher Education Area that will facilitate mobility, increase employability and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness. Ten years after the process was launched by signing the Bologna Declaration (19 June 1999), it is time to take stock.

This international round table will explore what has been achieved so far and what lies ahead, partly taking Croatian experience as a benchmark. The topics will be grouped around three distinct questions: (1) Are the voices of discontent with the Bologna process, from students and lecturers alike, directed at the very idea of the reform or only at the reality of its local implementation? (2) How does the reform affect the practices of academic study and vocational training, is this distinction blurred, and with what effects? (3) Has the reform succeeded to establish new social and economic patterns, to promote mobility within individual countries and across Europe, and how the current economic crisis reflects on it?
