The Bologna Process is a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries designed to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher education qualifications.
It has launched in 1999 by Ministers of Education and University leaders of 29 countries. It aims to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by 2010. It has further developed into a major redesign encompassing 46 countries.
It does not aim to harmonise national educational systems but rather to provide systems to connect them. The intention is to allow the diversity of national systems and universities to be maintained while the European Higher Education Area improves transparency between higher education systems, as well as implements tools to facilitate recognition of degrees and academic qualifications, mobility, and exchanges between institutions.
