What’s happening in Europe?

Who is participating?

The Bologna Process 2020 -The European Higher Education

Area in the new decade

Communiqué of the Conference ofEuropean Ministers Responsible for Higher Education,

Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, 28-29 April 2009

• Social dimension: equitable access and completion9. The student body within higher education should reflect the diversity of

Europe’s populations. We therefore emphasize the social characteristics of higher education and aim to provide equal opportunities to quality education. Access into higher education should be widened by fostering the potential of students from underrepresented groups and by providing adequate conditions for the completion of their studies. This involves improving the learning environment, removing all barriers to study, and creating the appropriate economic conditions for students to be able to benefit from the study opportunities at all levels. Each participating country will set measurable targets for widening overall participation and increasing participation of underrepresented groups in higher education, to be reached by the end of the next decade. Efforts to achieve equity in higher education should be complemented by actions in other parts of the educational system.

“For Global Competition Europe’s Higher Education Institutions Need Excellent Student Services”

• (Berlin, June 12 2007) Europe can expand its leading position as the world’s most attractive region for studying only if the so called student services – accommodation, meal services, information, counselling, career services, child care – are strengthened and if especially the HEI use the student services, besides teaching and research, to sharpen their profile.

Bolongna With Student Eyes 2009

Student services should be subsidised sufficiently to provide student housing, transportation discounts, healthy food provisions, sport facilities, medical care, discounts for cultural activities, etc. Student services must be accessible to all students, including international students. These services must pay special attention to making studying and student life accessible to disabled students.
