Twenty Years of the Bologna Process: Reflecting on its ‘Global Strategy’

Abstract

At its twenty-year mark, the Bologna Process has evolved into an important contemporary example of higher education collaboration. While initially focused on bringing European higher education institutions closer together, since its inception, the process has taken on an international reach, through its ‘global strategy’. This panel aims to reflect on the international function of the Bologna Process by exploring the motivations and interests behind its ‘global strategy’ as well as an examination of how the reform has been perceived and applied beyond Europe.
