Bologna Hub Peer Support II

ended

Building on the achievements of the current project “Bologna Hub Peer Support” (2020-2022), the main objective of the proposed project “Bologna Hub Peer Support II” (BHPS II) is to continue to foster the implementation of the Bologna key commitments and the application of the Bologna tools at Higher Education Institutions (HEI) throughout the EHEA. To further pursue “a structured peer support approach based on solidarity, cooperation and mutual learning”, this project will build on the already existing pool of experts which has been set up in the context of the predecessor project while similarly enabling the inclusion of additional experts. At least 30 HEI in the entire EHEA will be supported with the implementation of Bologna reforms through methods of peer-learning by around 25 European Bologna Experts. In addition to the peer support missions, three major project events are planned to foster the cooperation among the BHPS II-Experts as well as external experts (e.g. National Bologna Teams). A series of additional online seminars shall feed into the discussions at policy-level and give the project a new dimension. In between the events, a standing online platform shall facilitate continuous exchange. Outputs and results will be shared with external stakeholders via the project´s website and a series of podcasts. All these activities shall contribute to the following expected results: (1) more even implementation of the Bologna reforms at HEI across the EHEA (2) improved application of EHEA tools enhancing recognition, quality assurance, supporting mobility and internationalisation at HEI across the EHEA (3) enhanced cooperation between national authorities, EHEA consultative members and stakeholders in the implementation of reforms (4) stronger public awareness of initiatives which support the implementation of reforms in the EHEA (5) stronger links, mutual exchange and effective synergies between relevant experts.
