Abstract

Abstract This article explores future scenarios regarding the integration of European higher education (HE) in light of the European Universities Initiative which has been unfolding since 2017. Its aim is to understand potential development paths in light of the established intergovernmental Bologna Process, which has been diversified through international and supranational practices since its launch at the end of the 1990s. By way of European integration theories, we approach potential integration scenarios – a hitherto underutilized framework in HE studies. Our heuristic analysis of HE integration is based on secondary data; subsequently we construct and discuss four scenarios. Finally, we explore the implications of the scenarios from the perspective of the evaluation of the integration process of European HE.

在欧洲高等教育领域的协调与统一之间:欧洲大学倡议的情景

本文根据自2017年以来展开的欧洲大学倡议，探讨了欧洲高等教育(HE)整合的未来情景。其目的是根据已确立的政府间博洛尼亚进程了解可能的发展道路，该进程自1990年代末启动以来通过国际和超国家实践实现了多样化。通过欧洲一体化理论，我们探讨了潜在的一体化情景-迄今为止在高等教育研究中未充分利用的框架。我们的高等教育整合启发式分析是基于二手数据的;随后，我们构建并讨论了四种场景。最后，我们从欧洲高等教育一体化进程评估的角度探讨了这些情景的含义。

期刊介绍： Tertiary Education and Management (TEAM) is an international, interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal that welcomes research contributions that reflect upon, study or question main developmental trends and practices, and address current and future challenges in higher education. The thematic focus of TEAM includes management, governance and organisation of higher education; teaching and learning in higher education; the academic profession and academic careers; higher education and the labour market; and institutional research in higher education. TEAM is jointly published by Springer and EAIR – The European Higher Education Society, and is intended to contribute to EAIR’s mission of creating a better linkage of research, policy and practice in higher education.Articles submitted should as a consequence be written for, understood by, and be relevant for a multicultural, multifaceted and international audience, consisting of both the international academic community and the field of practice within higher education. TEAM welcomes articles using a variety of approaches, methods and perspectives given that the article demonstrate the relevance of the research in a broader context whether this be in other higher education institutions, other national settings or in the international arena. Occasionally, the journal also publishes articles where personal viewpoints/experiences or political arguments are made to stimulate discussion and reflection, or to challenge established thinking in the field of higher education. Such pieces are published in a dedicated ''Forum'' section of the journal.
