On December 11, 2006, CCGES hosted a workshop examining the ramifications of the Bologna Process on transatlantic mobility between Canadian and European post-secondary institutions. This event attracted an audience of academics, diplomats and internationalization professionals well beyond our expectations. Recognizing the resonance this topic enjoyed, organizers made the decision to film the proceedings so as to increase access to the information presented and discussed at the workshop. Below you will find access to a copy of the workshop program as well as streaming video files from the event.
