The eighth European Higher Education Area (EHEA) Ministerial Conference and third edition of the Bologna Policy Forum were held in Bucharest, Romania, earlier this year at the Palace of the Parliament. The 2012 Ministerial Conference brought together 47 European Higher Education Area ministerial delegations, the European Commission, Bologna Process consultative members and Bologna Follow-Up Group partners. The meeting was held to assess the results of the commencement of the second decade of the Bologna Process and determine future priorities for the next period of implementation.
