Where would higher education be without Erasmus? AEF Europe- Focus sur les IP 14 mai 2009 Patricia De Smet Unit Higher Education; « Erasmus » European Commission

Europe could do better  Curricula are not up to date  Higher education is fragmented, over- regulated and under-funded  Not enough young people in higher education  Not enough adults in lifelong learning

Policy priorities in Higher Education the modernisation agenda for universities new skills for new jobs ….. to support the Lisbon Strategy and the Bologna process ERASMUS studies and papers

The modernisation agenda for universities  Curricular reform: the three cycle system, competence based learning, flexible learning paths, recognition.  Governance reform: autonomy, strategic partnerships, cooperation with enterprises, quality assurance.  Funding reform: diversified income, promoting equity, access and efficiency, role of tuition fees, grants and loans.

New skills for new jobs  What jobs will be available in about 10 years ?  Is the training provided now useful to find a job tomorrow ?  Are skills needs and jobs changing all over the EU ?

6 Erasmus – a European Success Story (II) 2007/08: ~ students (studies) ~ students (placements)  HEIs and still expanding – 31 countries and more  Erasmus students per year and still increasing  At the end of 2008: in total 2 million students (over 21 years)  By 2012: in total 3 million students!
