Status of the Implementation Process

In an attempt to benchmark progress that has been made towards the goal of establishing a European Higher Education Area by 2010, WENR is providing updates on the structural, legislative and institutional changes that have been implemented by each of the signatory countries in its efforts to comply with the reforms called for in the Bologna Declaration.
