Putting the Baltic Sea Region on the map
Towards a global promotion strategy for higher education in Northern
Europe
Humboldt University of Berlin, November 16-17, 2006
The Baltic Sea Region is, like Europe as a whole, committed to
the Bologna Declaration of 1999 and its ambition to establish a
common area of higher education with a world-wide reputation of
attractiveness. What has been done to achieve this goal? And what
remains to be done? The conference at Humboldt University of Berlin
will offer up to date information about the state of affairs of
the Bologna Process in the Baltic Sea Region, and it will open the
floor for discussion of future marketing and promotion strategies.
As BalticStudyNet will conclude its activities by the end of 2006,
the conference will give an opportunity to sum up and review the
programme's experience in light of the overall aim of enhancing
the attractiveness of Europe as an educational destination.
OUTLINE
The Baltic Sea Region is, like Europe as a whole, committed to
the Bologna Declaration of 1999 and its ambition to establish a
common area of higher education with a world-wide reputation of
attractiveness. What has been done to achieve this goal? And what
remains to be done? The conference at Humboldt University of Berlin
will offer up to date information about the state of affairs of
the Bologna Process in the Baltic Sea Region, and it will open the
floor for discussion of future marketing and promotion strategies.
Putting the Baltic Sea Region on the world map of higher education
is also the primary goal of the Erasmus Mundus Action 4 programme
BalticStudyNet, which will host the Berlin conference. As BalticStudyNet
will conclude its activities by the end of 2006, the conference
will give an opportunity to sum up and review the programme's experience
in light of the overall aim of enhancing the attractiveness of Europe
as an educational destination.
The first day of the conference (Nov. 16) will be dedicated to
the discussion of a series of country-by-country reports on the
implementation of the Bologna process in the Baltic Sea Region.
Scholars and higher education specialists from all countries of
the region will present their data and assessments on such questions
as: How big is the share of the national student population currently
enrolled in the new BA-MA-Phd framework of higher education? How
is that framework structured (i.e. respective duration of BA, MA
and Phd programmes)? Are all types of higher education institutions
integrated into the Bologna framework, or just full-scale universities?
How is the system of programme accreditation organised? Has higher
education in the Baltic Sea Region become more international in
terms of English-taught programmes?
Day two of the conference (Nov. 17) will feature the recent development
of marketing European higher education in a global context with
a view to discussing future promotion strategies. The specific experience
of the Erasmus Mundus Action 4 programme BalticStudyNet will be
combined with key findings of survey studies of perceptions of European
higher education in third countries, and it will be asked how concepts
like the branding of places can contribute to the design of a global
promotion strategy for higher education in Northern Europe.
