Brussels, 6 February 2004

What’s new in Brussels? Recent developments in European policies and programmes

Theme

Rather than focusing on one single theme, the first seminars in this series, of the title “What’s New in Brussels: Recent Developments in European Policies and Programmes”, presented an overview of the most important issues at stake.  In other words, “What”s New in Brussels” was an introduction to the theme-specific seminars that follow.

The seminars provided the latest information on, and analysis of, the Bologna and Lisbon Processes, as well as on the reform of Socrates and Leonardo currently in the planning, as well as on the just-adopted Erasmus Mundus Programme. ACA is proud it succeeded in winning as speakers Guy Haug, Peter van der Hijden, Vito Borelli and Adam Pokorny of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education and Culture.
