Bologna Process beyond 2020: Fundamental values of the EHEA

The Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, jointly with the Italian Ministry for Education, Universities and Research, under the aegis of the Observatory of the Magna Charta Universitatum and the European University Association, has decided to celebrate the Twentieth Anniversary of the Bologna Declaration with an academic conference to be held in Bologna, Italy, on 24 and 25 June 2019.

The conference is intended as an analytical as well as an agenda-setting contribution to the design of the Bologna Process in the years to come and it aims at identifying important future challenges for universities and their role in society. The proceedings of this meeting will be input for the 2020 EHEA Ministerial Meeting in Rome. 

You can find in the event website http://bolognaprocess2019.it/ the details and practical information.

 The initiative will include a celebration day - on June 24th in the afternoon - and a working session on June 25th. For the second day the scientific committee has opened a Call for Abstracts on five themes ( Deadline March 15, 2019):

1.  Academic and related civic values in changing societies
2. Student-centered Learning:
3. Providing Leadership for Sustainable Development, the Role of Higher Education
4. The Social Dimension of Higher Education
5. Careers and Skills for the Labor Market of the future 

We hope to involve many scholars, researchers, students, staff and experts to discuss the core values of the EHEA and develop a "Vision" for the European Higher Education Area beyond 2020.  We would be very glad if you can participate by submitting an abstract yourself and/or by spreading the call within the Network. It is only with the expert help of many in Europe and beyond that we shall be able to indeed deliver valuable input to the EHEA in the decades to come.
