Abstract: The Bologna Process aims to foster transnational higher education while also developing strong relations between European Universities. This paper focuses on the way that mobilities, regardless of the programme they are affiliated to, help the Bologna Process shape higher education. European Universities are called to start strengthening the internalization of higher education, and I believe that this goal can be achieved with the help of mobilities.
Within the research, we have used a questionnaire and a SWOT analysis, which includes a comparison between the Erasmus+ programme and the FORTHEM Alliance. On one hand, the students of Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu who went abroad through the Erasmus+ programme have voiced their opinions on the Bologna Process in my questionnaire. On the other hand, LUBS has been a member of the FORTHEM Alliance since 2021, programme which also offers the chance to experience studying or researching abroad in a short-term mobility.
Keywords: Bologna Process, Erasmus+ Programme, European Universities Initiative, Romanian higher education, student mobilities
