The Example of the Danube Region
The Danube River Basin is a diverse and complex macro-region,
consisting of 14 different countries and bringing together different:
• cultures• religions• historical backgrounds• opportunities for industrial and economic development• political systems and models of government• different approaches to EU policy (8 members of the
Danube Region are EU Member States, 6 are not.)

The diversity of countries located in the Danube
Region is both a challenge and an obstacle for
developing a common policy. In the Danube
Region, there are approximately 280 state
universities, which demonstrate enormous
potential and the need to develop a common
strategy on higher education.

• In 1088, the first university in Europe, the Alma Mater Studiorum in Bologna was established, combining classical arts of grammar, rhetoric and logic.
• In 1999, Bologna provided all European universities with common principles, and it has thus profoundly influenced higher education in Europe in a crucial moment of becoming part of the globalization process.
• The complexity of the current situation requires universities to find new
ways of expression and functioning between traditional values and the awareness of changes and needs of the modern society.
• Mission statements of several universities already indicate changes in the profile of modern HE institutions and their tendency to cover a wider spectrum of the needs of society.

JOINT DEGREE PROGRAMS
• Important manner of cooperation in higher education.
• Degree equivalences and basic principles of the Bologna declaration in all study programs should be provided when creating joint degree programs.
• Due to different national legislation, we encounter numerous administrative barriers.

University Rankings
• recognized and traditional universities VS newly established universities
• It’s difficult to establish strong and stable connections between these universities.
• In terms of common projects, study programs and bilateral exchanges, universities with similar ranking positions are cooperating more easily.
• Rankings are important in order to identify universities’ strengths and weaknesses, facilitating reforms and launching new initiatives.
• Every university is aiming at an internal monitoring system of excellence and quality.

• Based on the positive response to the Report on Merit Rating Indicators at Faculties of the University of Maribor for the period 2003-2006, the University of Maribor has decided to revalue the merit rating of UM members for the period 2004-2008.
• Negative outcomes should act as an incentive to achieve better results, while positive ones should present a challenge of getting to the top (compare & competition).
• ranking brand name greater knowledge better jobs higher salaries

• Cultural, religious, economic and other obstacles present a challenge not only in the globalized world (Europe) but also in various regions.
• In order to overcome these barriers, we must
ACCEPT, UNDERSTAND and RESPECT each other.
