The Impact

This chapter looked at the implications of Brexit on the recruitment of international faculty, students, and the ability to obtain research funding. Higher education stakeholders have legitimate concerns regarding the impact of the UK's separation from the EU. In preemptive moves, students are transferring to institutions outside the UK and EU to universities that are welcoming and accommodating the special needs and circumstances of international scholars. Researchers are prematurely dissolving collaborative partnerships with colleagues to mitigate complications and lost funding expected, as a result of Brexit. There are universities exploring possible locations for new satellite campuses in other countries. Through the development of policies and treaties such as the Bologna Process, Lisbon Strategy, European Higher Education in the World initiative, the European Union has demonstrated the importance and purpose of higher education both in Europe and at the international level.

The Impact

Two decades have passed from the Sorbonne Declaration in 1999 to the present day, a period of time in which we have witnessed the great changes that have occurred in higher education systems in many countries of the world, specifically the countries belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).Four countries started by signing the 1999 Declaration, today there are already forty-eight countries involved in the EHEA.In this article, a tour of the milestones that have been shaping and kneading the EHEA is made, addressing the most relevant issues addressed in the different meetings of the ministers of higher education. Next, we will stop at one of the most relevant indicators of the EHEA: the quality assurance systems that, because of the Bologna Process, have been deployed both at the supranational and national levels. We will make an overview of the implementation of educational quality in the countries. Finally, we will reflect on the impact that the perspective of educational quality has had in the countries of the European Higher Education Area.

The article analyzes the impact of international strategies for modernization of education on the content of training specialists in educational management in the European higher education system. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the influence of international strategies for the modernization of education on the content of training specialists in educational management in the European system of higher education. The research was carried out on the basis of methods of theoretical generalization; comparative analysis; methods of grouping and systematization. It is revealed that in modern conditions, among the fac-tors of development of European higher education, three important ones are substantiated, which are direct-ly related to the development of the educational space: smart growth: development of the economy based on knowledge and innovation; sustainable growth: creating an economy based on the rational use of resources, ecology and competition; inclusive growth: promoting employment, social and territorial consensus. The strategic goal of the national policy of the EU in the field of education at the beginning of the XXI century there are problems of purposeful influence on the conditions and preconditions for the implementation of the rules of law, focusing on the benefits of modernization of educational activities in the period of transfor-mation, improvement of the entire education system and the mechanism of realization of the constitutional right to education. The areas that have the greatest impact on the process of training specialists in education management in European education are identified: focus on methodological support of activities within Eu-ropean education; standardization of educational content, licensing, certification and accreditation of educa-tional institutions, recognition of qualifications at the level of higher education; improving the education management system, decentralization and diversification in education. It is emphasized that the develop-ment of human capital is at the heart of the global development strategy

The Impact

Purpose: Frontline healthcare professionals are well positioned to improve the systems in which they work. Educational curricula, however, have not always equipped healthcare professionals with the skills or knowledge to implement and evaluate improvements. It is important to have a robust and standardized framework in order to evaluate the impact of such education in terms of improvement, both within and across European countries. The results of such evaluations will enhance the further development and delivery of healthcare improvement science (HIS) education. We aimed to describe the development and piloting of a framework for prospectively evaluating the impact of HIS education and learning.Methods: The evaluation framework was designed collaboratively and piloted in 7 European countries following a qualitative methodology. The present study used mixed methods to gather data from students and educators. The framework took the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation as a theoretical reference.Results: The framework was found to be feasible and acceptable for use across differing European higher education contexts according to the pilot study and the participants’ consensus. It can be used effectively to evaluate and develop HIS education across European higher education institutions.Conclusion: We offer a new evaluation framework to capture the impact of HIS education. The implementation of this tool has the potential to facilitate the continuous development of HIS education.

The Impact

This chapter explores the impact of global university rankings on the development and implementation of institutional and national policies and practices in the two countries forming the European Higher Education Area. More precisely, it focuses on Slovenia and the Netherlands which are rarely in the focus of comparative higher education research. Initially, it discusses the landscape of eight selected global rankings in terms of key indicators they use and criticisms to which they are subjected. Afterwards, it investigates global (and national) rankings in the framework of institutional and national policies, strategies, and practices of each country case. In the continuation, it places the obtained results into the comparative perspective and concludes by highlighting that university rankings frequently support vertical diversity within and between (Slovenian and Dutch) higher education systems and, as such, disregard the complexity of particular disciplinary, institutional and national contexts.

The Impact

The prospect of “Brexit” is causing significant anxiety across the European higher education sector, as universities brace themselves for a possible departure of the United Kingdom and a reconfiguration of the sector. Our research suggests that while the impact is expected to be uneven across the region—with some possible short-term beneficiaries—research cooperation with the United Kingdom and freedom of movement are valued by universities across the region.

Learning outcomes and their integration into the Slovenian higher education area. The authors discuss the concept of learning outcome and critically evaluate its definition, translation into the Slovenian language and its implications for curriculum planning in (higher) education. Methodologically, the article is the impact analysis of the process of Europeanisation on the conceptualisation of learning outcomes in European (higher) education. More precisely, it evaluates the impact of the European Qualifications Framework and A Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area on the contemporary understanding of learning outcomes.
