Prof. Dr. Guy Haug, Expert of European Higher Education Area (EHEA). European Commision Directorate-General for Education and Culture, Brussels, Belgium.

He is one of the founding fathers of the European Higher Education Area thanks to his key role in the creation of an agenda for university modernization as part or the Lisbon Strategy, and in the shaping and starting up of the Bologna process to remodel the converging curricula and methodologies at European universities.

He has a wealth of experience in university management (the internationally renowned French Grande Ecole of management), in cooperation with international organizations (the EC for the design and start-up of the Erasmus and Tempus programmes, OECD, World Bank, UNESCO), and in university networks in Europe (especially in engineering and management) and the Americas (USA, Latin America). He is member of or advisor to a number of quality assessment and accreditation agencies and has taken part in conferences around the world relating to the EHEA. He has a degree in law (Strasbourg), a PhD in Political Sciences (Tübingen), an honorary degree from HETAC (Dublin), and an MBA (Ottawa).
