Problems ------------------------------------------------

- lack of clear instructions at the national level

- university =/= integrated (duality: faculties – central administration)

- resistance and pessimism in the part of thefaculty (older faculty)

Positive aspects ------------------------------------------------

- beginning of a true integration of the University(at the level of the ECTS committee)

- quality as a major concern

- reformed curricula

- beginning of a possible snowballing effect
