Bologna at the Finish Line

At the third day of the European Student Summit in Vienna, ESU presented its account of ten years of the Bologna Process. The publication is titled Bologna at the Finish Line. You can download the publication here.

 

Since 2003, ESU has published its Bologna With Student Eyes series. These reports measure the progress of the Bologna Process, seen through the eyes of National Student Unions. They are an alternative to the reports of the European governments, whose reports are rarely telling the whole truth about their implementation of the action lines that are agreed upon by the education ministers.

 

The publication is part of the project “Enhancing the student contribution to the Bologna Implementation (ESCBI). The project is funded with support from the European Commission.
