— This post was originally written on the 27th of May, 2019 — I spent election night at Sciences Po for a soirée électorale européenne that lasted five hours, listening to a live analysis of the first results by researchers and students across Europe.

Hannah Moscovitz and Hila Zahavi June 19 will mark the twenty-year anniversary of the Bologna Declaration spearheading the Bologna Process and establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). For the last two decades, the Bologna Process has shaped higher education reforms in Europe and beyond by providing a framework for coordination among national systems. […]
Kamila Feddek summarises her key takeaway messages from the UACES Doctoral Training Academy 2018 to help researchers in European Studies engage with audiences outside academia and make their research impactful.

Yesterday’s sacking of Gavin Williamson, following an investigation into the leaking of a decision of the National Security Council on the use of Huawei components in the UK’s 5G network, was a big shock, both for its speed and its timing (don’t forget to vote today BTW).

The United Kingdom was one of the nine members; Hungary and Poland’s membership of the EU was unimaginable at the time. While the EP was recognised as a ‘talking […]
Nadiia Kachynska and Clara Kim As a truly global phenomenon, the internationalization of higher education relates to highly debatable topics among researchers, policymakers and practitioners.
