The Charter of Bologna

The Charter of Bologna, established in 1999, is a key agreement among European countries to create a more cohesive and compatible higher education system. It aims to enhance academic mobility, improve the quality and comparability of degrees, and promote lifelong learning across member states. By adopting a system of easily recognizable degree structures and facilitating the transfer of credits between universities, the charter helps students and institutions cooperate more effectively. Overall, it seeks to foster better educational standards and accessibility, making higher education more accessible and relevant across Europe.
