How to get things on the political agenda? • Kingdon – policy streams model: • Problem stream; • Solution stream; • Political stream. • Frames • Policy windows • Agenda (public, media, policy ->Decision)
Student centered learning • Started as a new frame needed for ESU policies; • ESU – Education International project (T4SCL); • Defined in the Leuven/ Louvain la Neuve Bologna Process Communique (2009); • Fastest political concept: inserted in the ESG, focus in various EU documents; • Why?
Mobility – 20% by 2020 EHEA graduates • Launched as a catchy one-liner in the ERASMUS programme XX anniv (2007); • EHEA target in 2009 (ESU-EC coalition); • EU target in 2011; • EHEA Strategy to reach it (2012); • Prompted a number of countries to develop internationalisation/ mobility strategies; • Start of more EHEA political targets?
Social Dimension • Introduced in 2001 by ESU in the BP; • Defined clearly only in 2007; • 2009 – more concrete requirements (defined national targets and strategies + European level monitoring); • EU2020 focus – 40% HE attainment by 2020 for the 30-34 year old cohort; • Concrete progress?
