The BolognaDeclaration is not a reform imposed upon national governments or higher education institutions.
The Bologna process aims at creating convergence and, thus, is not a path towards the "standardisation" or "uniformisation" of European higher education.
In order to respond to the invitation contained in the BolognaDeclaration, the higher education community needs to be able to tell Ministers in a convincing way what kind of European space for higher education it wants and is willing to promote.
Bologna (IPA [boˈloɲa], from Latin Bononia, Bulåggna in the local dialect) is the capital city of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, in the Pianura Padana, between the Po River and the Apennines, exactly, between Reno River and Sàvena River.
In the new political situation Bologna gained importance for its cultural role and became an important commercial, industrial and communications hub; its population began to grow again and at the beginning of the 20th century the old walls were destroyed (except few parts) in order to build new houses for the population.
Bologna is home to Guglielmo Marconi International Airport, expanded in 2004 by extending the runway to accommodate larger aircraft: it's the 5th-busiest Italian airport for passenger traffic (about 3,6 million/year); since 2004 is the 3rd intercontinental.
