Tying the knots in Bologna implementation
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The KnoBI project aims to tackle the poor implementation of three specific Bologna action lines in Romania: mobility (with a focus on staff mobility), the social dimension (with a focus on the implementation of the EHEA social dimension strategy) and graduate labour market integration (with a focus on tracking). These have been identifies as weak points in the 2015 implementation report, in domestic policy reviews and have been flagged as priority areas in the Yerevan communique. Furthermore, the project will aim to improve reporting for the 2018 Bologna implementation report via activities dedicated to improving data collection.The main target group for the project will include policy experts, institutional managers and administrators, social partners (e.g. students and employers) and the representatives of other national-level institutions involved in higher education governance.The main tools deployed in the project will include up-to-date reviews of Bologna Process implementation, peer learning and workshop-based dissemination activities. The implementation of the project will be aided by the participation of six nominated Bologna experts in all major activities. These experts will take part in peer learning activities organized in countries which have excelled at the implementation of Bologna action lines and which have active partnerships with Romanian institutions. Furthermore, workshops and conferences will be attended by international Bologna experts, who will act as speakers and facilitators.The expected outcomes of the project include a series of small-scale publications, institutional strategies on staff mobility, social dimension and graduate employability tracking. The Bologna experts are expected to establish a direct communication network so as to enable them in aiding universities in deepening implementation further. One major outcome will be the 2018 implementation report scorecard, filled in on the basis of an improved data collection system.
