1.3.2018

Question for written answer E-001304-18
to the Commission
Rule 130
Roberta Metsola (PPE)

In November 2017, the Commission presented its vision and concrete steps to create a European Education Area by 2025 as part of the ongoing debate on the future of Europe.

In light of this, can the Commission specify how such initiatives will affect the renewed EU agenda for higher education, which was launched in May 2017, as well as the European Research Area?

Furthermore, is the Commission considering integrating these different actions in order to avoid policy fragmentation and the creation of parallel processes?
