An excellent start to the event, with a good balance of concrete ideas and open questions for reflection. Maybe less is more, and we should think in terms of exnovation rather than innovation!

Pastora Martinez @uocuniversitat.bsky.social : Universities have not waited for the European degree blueprint, we have had joint programmes many years ago. But the European degree would provide a more stable framework, which we need to make things work better

Ahead of the #EYCS on 12 May, @mariakelo.bsky.social highlights that whatever form the #Europeandegree takes, it shouldn't be used to justify further delays in implementing already agreed international cooperation tools & reforms linked to the Bologna Process. buff.ly/Am4aF3b
