4. Improving Academic and Professional Education Capacity in Serbia in the Area of Safety & Security (by Means of Strategic Partnership with the EU) - IMPRESS Bologna process at a glance • In Bologna in 1999 the Ministers of Education of 29 countries agreed on a common vision of a European Higher Education Area, with intention to reform the higher education and harmonization, and to create the EHEA. They found that this vision was politically relevant for their own countries and translated it into the operational goals listed in the Bologna Declaration. • In the past 19 years the Bologna Process, through voluntary convergence and an intergovernmental approach, has led to the construction of the main periods: • • A common framework until 2010, which includes the overarching Framework for Qualifications of the EHEA, a common credit system (ECTS), common principles for the development of student-centered learning, the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance, a common Register of QA Agencies, a common approach to recognition, and a common body of methodologies and sustainable achievements produced by European HEIs – the so-called Bologna Process. • • The second part (after 2010), was dedicated to the EHEA establishment. • The pan-European character of the process should be enhanced, its added value for national policies should be made more visible, and steps should be taken to involve the entire academic community – teachers, students and administrative staff - in elaborating the concrete paths toward its realization.
