Europeanization of European Universities. Between Two Currents of Changes
Europeanization of European Universities. Between Two Currents of Changes

Summary/Abstract: There are two driving forces of Europeanization within higher education: the Bologna Process and European Union policies and activities. The Bologna Process, started as the voluntary agreement of minsters, provided a stable framework for interchangeable and compatible education, thus promoting student and faculty mobility. The European Union, although enjoying institutional and political power, was rather interested in sponsoring mobility financially. Thanks to the interplay of these two forces, the ‘European dimension’ in higher education has emerged, thus making it more desirable around the world.
