In the days 22-25 October 2008 two Polish universities: Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities and University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn were hosting a visit of researchers from European University Association (EUA). Ruth Keeling-Sobótka (University of Cambridge; League of European Research Universities) and Dionyssis Kladis (University of Peloponnese) were exploring the state of second cycle of studies - Master's programmes. The purpose of the research was to assess the extent to which Bologna process has had its impact on the provision at Master's level and whether the function and significance of the Master's programmes has changed over the years. Results of the research are supposed to be a key text to prepare EUA Convention of European Higher Education Institutions in Prague, March 2009. The outcomes will also inform EUA's policy work, particulary in relation to higher education reforms beyond 2010 and will be used as background for the 2010 Trends VI report.
