	The Bologna Declaration: an explanation
		The Bologna Declaration is not a reform imposed upon national governments or higher education institutions.
		The Bologna process aims at creating convergence and, thus, is not a path towards the "standardisation" or "uniformisation" of European higher education.
		In order to respond to the invitation contained in the Bologna Declaration, the higher education community needs to be able to tell Ministers in a convincing way what kind of European space for higher education it wants and is willing to promote.

	Furthering the Bologna Process (Lourtie report to ministers) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The follow-up group of the Bologna Process commissioned the rapporteur to present this report as a contribution to the meeting in Prague, in May 2001, of the European Ministers in charge of Higher Education of the countries that signed the Bologna Declaration in June 1999.
		The first one, Developments since Bologna, aims at giving a succinct overview of the trends that may be observed in the European higher education systems, of the outcomes of the events organised in the framework of the Bologna Process and of the issues involved in the main goals of the Bologna Declaration.
		In fact, the Bologna Declaration states that one of the objectives is the “adoption of a system essentially based on two main cycles (…)” and that “access to the second cycle shall require successful completion of first cycle studies, lasting a minimum of three years”.

	The DU/Bologna Center
		In the United States, the development and signing of the Wingspread Declaration on Renewing the Civic Mission of the American Research University (1998) and the University Presidents’ Declaration on the Civic Responsibility of Higher Education (1999) signaled a re-emphasis on the role of the university in promoting a civil society.
		Center founders of the Bologna Center responded to the calls of global educators and concerned citizens and seized the opportunity to develop an organization that would serve all universities as they face the opportunities and responsibilities of engaging with their communities in the new millennium.
		Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna region have long been recognized for a strong commitment to civic society and collaboration.

		The Bologna declaration also links its use to the reform of higher education systems, where specific reference is made to the adoption of a system essentially based on two main cycles (bachelor and master levels).
		There is also direct emphasis in the declaration on the role of higher education in preparing students for the labour market as highlighted by the statement ‘the degree awarded after the first cycle shall also be relevant to the European labour market as an appropriate level of qualification.
		In fact the Bologna Declaration highlights this by stating unequivocally that member states should be involved in the ‘promotion of European co-operation in quality assurance with a view to developing comparable criteria and methodologies’.

	International Higher Education--18/5
		The groundwork for what is already widely known in higher education as the Bologna Declaration was laid by the Sorbonne Declaration, signed on May 25, 1998 in Paris by the ministers of education of France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom on the occasion of the anniversary of the university of Paris.
		However, the Sorbonne Declaration was surprisingly well received, both in the political arena and in the higher education community of the four countries and in the rest of Europe.
		The debate was based on the Sorbonne Declaration and on a study prepared by the Association of European Universities and the CRE on "Trends in European Learning Structures." The study showed the extreme complexity and diversity of European curricular and degree structures.

		The Declaration, signed by twenty-nine European countries in June 1999 (including the UK) and based on the Sorbonne Declaration of 1998, calls for the harmonisation of HE qualification systems in Europe, mutual recognition of degree qualifications and increased staff and student mobility within Europe.

		In the UK there is almost no discussion and, if Bologna is ever discussed, the general attitude is that we already have a 3/4+1/2+3-year system and that the Declaration is aimed at other countries to conform with the UK.
