Architectural Education Forum 3
Countries and continents are getting closer because of globalization and good communication opportunities. Exchange of students, academic personal, researchers and professionals all over the world can easily be realized in the third millennium.
The European Higher Education Area and European Research Area was established after Bologna, and many important cooperative studies were realized in this process. Mobility of students, academics and researchers, cooperative studies in research and education are the important issues when the European countries are considered.
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in Europe is very systematic mobility tool for students. The mobility supporting programs like Erasmus, Socrates, Leonardo and agreements between schools are very helpful for students' exchange not only in Europe but also in other continents. The mobility of students, academics, researchers and professionals give new opportunities for cooperative studies.
Global studios, global courses and global internship for architectural education are very attractive tools for cooperative studies. The success of all these processes, events is depended on the quality assurance and accreditation systems on education.
