Ministers Marie-Dominique Simonet and Frank Vandenbroucke (French and Flemish Community of Belgium) on behalf of the Benelux hosts of the 2009 Ministerial conference

Chair: Alan Johnson

Based on our agreed criteria for country membership, we welcome the Republic of Montenegro as a member of the Bologna Process.

Our stocktaking report, along with EUA’s Trends V report, ESIB’s Bologna With Student Eyes and Eurydice’s Focus on the Structure of Higher Education in Europe, confirms that there has been good overall progress in the last two years. There is an increasing awareness that a significant outcome of the process will be a move towards student-centred higher education and away from teacher driven provision. We will continue to support this important development.
