  Higher Education Area based on the principles of

  rich heritage and cultural diversity in
  contributing to a knowledge-based society. We
  commit ourselves to upholding the principle of
  public responsibility for higher education in the
  context of complex modern societies. As higher
  education is situated at the crossroads of
  research, education and innovation, it is also
  the key to Europes competitiveness. (Bergen

London 2007
We reaffirm our commitment to increasing the
compatibility and comparability of our higher
education systems, whilst at the same time
respecting their diversity. We recognise the
important influence higher education institutions
(HEIs) exert on developing our societies, based
on their traditions as centres of learning,
research, creativity and knowledge transfer as
well as their key role in defining and
transmitting the values on which our societies
are built. Our aim is to ensure that our HEIs
have the necessary resources to continue to
fulfil their full range of purposes. Those
purposes include preparing students for life as
active citizens in a democratic society
preparing students for their future careers and
enabling their personal development creating and
maintaining a broad, advanced knowledge base and
stimulating research and innovation. (London
