Sorbonne Declaration

The Sorbonne Declaration is an agreement made in 1998 by France, Italy, and Spain to improve their higher education systems. They aimed to promote mutual recognition of academic degrees, facilitate student and staff mobility, and establish common principles for university quality and governance. This declaration was a step towards greater cooperation among European countries in education and laid the groundwork for later initiatives like the Bologna Process, which worked to create a more unified and comparable higher education system across Europe.
