On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) the DAAD is organising the conference “Reforming European Higher Education – From Policy to Practice”, and a “Networking Meeting for Higher Education Cooperation” on the 8^th and 9^th of June 2018.

1^st Conference Day

Conference (plenary) “Reforming European Higher Education – From Policy to Practice”

on 8^th June

Ukraine joined the Bologna Process in 2005 and since then much has been done. Important higher education reforms were initiated and successfully implemented. Nonetheless, as other Bologna Members, Ukraine’s Higher Education system still faces some challenges of modernisation and Europeanisation. Therefore, an international conference will be held to support and encourage the reform efforts. The conference will address key elements of the European higher education reform, including quality assurance, transparency instruments such as ECTS / Diploma Supplement but also the topic of recognition of qualifications. In addition, the conference will also provide the opportunity to exchange experience between German, European and Ukrainian higher education representatives. Furthermore, participants will be informed about the results of the Bologna Ministerial Conference in Paris and will discuss future challenges in European Higher Education.

2^nd Conference Day

Networking Meeting on the 9^th of June

The Networking Meeting at local universities will provide participants with the opportunity to establish cooperation partnerships with Ukrainian & European colleagues.

Addressed are representatives of the following academic disciplines: Engineering, Mathematics, IT/Computer Sciences & Natural Sciences
