A member of a project group edited a monograph on policies, trends and strategies in Europe and Slovenia which promote internationalisation in higher education (double edition: Slovenian [COBISS.SI-ID 259167488] and English [COBISS.SI-ID 256807680]); he also contributed an introduction and a chapter (in total eight chapters). The inspiration for this publication came from the national consultation on the internationalisation of higher education in Slovenia. The monograph seeks to foster a discussion of the future of higher education. The expected readers of this publication range from university teaching staff, students and university leaderships, to policymakers, civil servants, stakeholders in higher education and the wider informed public. The articles in the book therefore tap into the topical discussion of the interplay of local and national level policy goals and regulatory frameworks, as well as global level higher education markets in which higher education institutions from peripheral, little-known regions often struggle to find a place.

COBISS.SI-ID: 256807680Two members of the project group were invited to actively contribute to the Council’s of Europe Forum which was attended by policy makers from Ministries of Education of the member states. Our plenary presentation [COBISS.SI-ID 9048905] aims at questioning and reconsidering some basic principles of constructing European common education area as a specific European response to a question about (higher) education for future; it also indicates policy issues which should be addressed in further steps of Europeanisation and internationalisation of (higher) education. In the final report [COBISS.SI-ID 9064777] we synthesised the outcomes of the Forum.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 9064777During the last two decades the issue of international and transnational education has undergone very specific developments in Europe. It became a bold European issue, not only an issue of bilateral and multilateral cooperation between diverse national systems. In March 2010, the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has been officially declared. However, there are mixed feelings. The European higher education landscape has changed impressively through the last decade but also broader European context has changed a lot. Enthusiasm of the post-1989 era disappeared long ago and the “European idea” itself seems to have been transformed or, at least, is seriously challenged today. Did the Bologna Process really influence the formation of a new Europe-wide higher education identity?
