“Promotion of mobility by overcoming obstacles to the effective exercise of free movement with particular attention to:

• Promotion of the necessary European dimensions in higher education particularly with regards to curricular development, inter institutional cooperation, mobility schemes and integrated programmes of study, training and research”

Prague, May 2001
“Ministers reaffirmed that the objective of improving the mobility of students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff as set out in the Bologna Declaration is of the utmost importance. They confirmed their commitment to pursue the removal of all the obstacles to the free movement of students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff and emphasised the social dimension of mobility”.

Berlin, September 2003
Mobility of students and academic and administrative staff is the basis for establishing a European Higher Education Area. Ministers emphasised its importance for academic and cultural as well as political social and economic spheres.
6
Promotion of European Dimension in Higher Education
“(Ministers) note that initiatives have been taken by Higher Education Institutions in various European countries to pool their academic resources and cultural traditions in order to promote the development of integrated study programmes and joint degrees at first, second and third cycle. Moreover they stress the necessity of ensuring a substantial period of study abroad in Joint Degree programmes as well as proper provision for linguistic diversity and language learning, so that students may achieve their full potential for European identity, citizenship and employability. Ministers agreed to engage at the national level to remove legal obstacles to the establishment and recognition of such degrees and to actively support the development and adequate Quality Assurance of integrated curricula leading to Joint Degrees”.

Bergen, May 2005
We recognise that mobility of students and staff among all participating countries remains one of the key objectives of the Bologna Process. We urge institutions and students to make full use of mobility programmes advocating full recognition of study periods abroad within such programmes.
