The Bologna Process and Professional Qualifications
By 2010 the Bologna Process aims to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which will embrace the higher education systems of its 46 signatory countries. One of the EHEA?s main elements is the overarching framework of qualifications based on three cycles. However, many qualifications are professional as well as academic. More than 800 regulated professions are covered by EU legislation, which enables mobile professionals to practice and to establish in EU Member States other than the one in which they obtained their qualification. With the significant exception of the field of law, these professions fall within the scope of Directive EC/2005/36 on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications.

Call for participation: EUA project studies ?quality culture? in Europe?s Universities
EUA is launching a new project to examine the internal ?quality culture? within European universities, and how this has developed within the framework of the Bologna process reforms. The quality of European higher education is at the heart of the Bologna Process and European governments have committed to supporting the development of quality assurance (QA) at the university, national and European level. In 2005, Education Ministers adopted the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) that had been proposed by the key stakeholder organisations. Until now there has been no specific study to look at the impact of these quality guidelines and how they have been adopted at the university level.

European strategy and co-operation in education and training
EU education and training policy has been given added impetus since the adoption of the Lisbon Strategy in 2000, the EU's overarching programme focusing on growth and jobs. Knowledge, and the innovation it sparks, are the EU's most valuable assets, particularly as global competition becomes more intense in all sectors. While national governments are responsible for education and training some challenges are common to all Member States: Ageing societies, skills deficits of the workforce and global competition need joint responses and countries learning from each other.

Current political and economic climate and its consequences for universities post Bologna
In his presentation to the EUA Convention, general rapporteur, Sir Peter Scott (Vice Chancellor of Kingston University) said it was a decisive moment not only for Europe's universities but also for Europe as a whole. He stressed the Bologna process reforms had created 'great and probably irreversible momentum for organisational and curricula change' within European universities. But Bologna had also given universities a contemporary presence to ‘reinvigorate our historical memory, a new cohesion'. "We have become in some indirect and possibly unintended way - a single project," he told the audience.
