Then she focuses on directions from two reports: “Trends in Global Higher Education: Tracking an Academic Revolution” and “Bucharest Message to the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education – Experiences and Recommendations from the Europe Region”. She points to main problems of higher education institutions in global and European context. In the end she analyses those problems from Polish higher education institutions’ point of view.
