Abstract

It is well known that the “Bologna process” started in 1998 aiming not at uniformity of the various European HE systems, but at creating “a system of easily readable and comparable degrees”. By 2010, this objective has been achieved to a large extent, and the 47-country “European Higher Education Area” (EHEA) has been established. However, not all problems are yet solved and the mobility of students and graduates is still often hampered by lack of trust and/or knowledge of the actual situations: to remove these remaining obstacles will be a great contribution to the increase of equal opportunities for all genders and nationalities.
