The seminar will bring together international and local stakeholders to discuss the developments in International Openness and the External Dimension in the context of the Leuven and Louvain-La-Neuve Communiqué. This two-day seminar will address the issue of how Higher Education Institutions can improve the attractiveness of the EHEA as a Higher Education destination.  Particular focus will be placed on how partners in the Bologna Process can promote the European Higher Education Area beyond Europe’s borders in an attempt to bridge the gap between participant countries’ external policies.
