Universities have to move towards the construction of a European university, with full recognition of the given titles and quality assurance, as discussed in Murcia professor of the Polytechnic University of Madrid and director of the UNESCO Chair in University Management and Policy Francisco Michavila.
Michavila, which intervened in the seminaries of the Rector, promoted by the Rector of the University of Murcia (UMU), explained that internationalization to which they must walk the universities goes far beyond student mobility programs and agreements collaboration subscribing universities with institutions in other countries.
The speaker recalled that the university was the heart of the construction of Europe, being at the origin of a flow of knowledge that became visible, especially in the eighteenth century.
It was in the next century, he added, when the idea began to emerge that had to unite Europe, and the fundamental idea which was raised revolved around the Europe of knowledge.
On the Bologna Process, which was a step in this unification, Michavila said the purpose was to achieve a system of quality assurance in education and a country to be homologous with another;
ultimately reach a system in which the structure was similar teaching and in which the measurement of student work was similar.
He added that there have been many steps within the philosophy of the Bologna process, while others are still missing, and regretted that a bureaucracy that sometimes causes some disenchantment in some sectors is generated.
This event, held at the Faculty of Law, took part, along with the rector of the University of Murcia, José Orihuela, other members of the university community.
