The European Universities Initiative has released new energy both for the Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), according to a new analysis. The activities now underway in the European university alliances, notably the legal side of establishing common degrees and cultural factors like the stronger influence of the student movements in the northern part of Europe, will determine the way forward, says the study by Dan Andrée, a senior advisor at Karolinska Institute who represents the Stockholm Trio (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University).
