Globalization

• If you remember ONE thing from today, remember
  globalization and the way you approach it will
  determine your success.
• You can ignore it happening and fail or
• You can embrace its opportunities and succeed
• I will now go through a number of examples.

Globalization in Education The Bologna Process
Probably the most radical move in Education in
history

• 25 EU countries another 20 countries
  surrounding 45 countries are adopting the
  Bologna Decree !!
• An immensely influencing factor spreading from
  the EU.

The Bologna Process is augmenting change

• Each and every University in these 45 nations are
  currently reviewing, enhancing and changing
  content.
• But how is a student that graduates BSc in
  Budapest going to do his/her MSc in Madrid and
  PhD in Stockholm ?
• If you do not change, you are left behind.

Economy

Call to Action

• International Community
• Hungarian Higher Education Institutes need to
  more actively participate in teams of
  international innovation.
• They need to actively participate in research
  projects together with international industry.
• The need to be in search of the best available
  curricula and adapt and integrate into their own
  lectures. The world is moving too fast to
  re-invent everything on your own.
• They need to become more integrated and linked
  with the international academic community. This
  is happening, but not enough and not quickly
  Examples are EU FP6 and FP7 Programs

14
Call to Action

• Core competencies
• Core competencies are concentrated in clusters
  and there needs to be a high level of mobility
  to go to there, gain expertise and come back to
  the home society and build local clusters.
• Global Communication
• As shown in the Bologna Process or around the
  globe Research example, there needs to be a
  common language to be able to communicate.
• English may not be the prettiest language in the
  world, but it is by far the most common foreign
  language and used to communicate globally.
• Create English language MSc maybe even BSc
  courses
