The Bologna Process is an EU initiative that is basically designed to align degree structures across the EU (and the wider world – NZ’s relationship is covered here). The EU is running a Ministerial Anniversary Conference in Vienna this week “to honour and to assess the achievements of common action and its contribution to enhancing the quality and the diversification of higher education in Europe”. Also, it’s 10 years since they signed it.
So far, so boring, but the Bologna Burns site explains how demonstrations and blockades (all peaceful apparently) are being organised for the conference. It amazes me that such a fundamentally boring process can stir such passion.
