Whereas educational systems are primarily the responsibility of governments, educational structures and content are that of higher education institutions and their academic staff.<\/p><p>As a result of the <a href=\"https:\/\/onderwijs.vlaanderen.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bologna Process<\/a> the educational systems in all European countries are in the process of reforming. This is the direct effect of the political decision to converge the different national systems in Europe. For Higher Education institutions these reforms mean the actual starting point for another discussion: the comparability of curricula in terms of structures, programmes and actual teaching. This is what Tuning offers. In this reform process the required academic and professional profiles and needs of society (should) play an important role.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section
