11. EU Integration Goals: Quality Standards, Compatibility Structural Standards: The Bachelor – Master – Ph.D. system European Mobility Possible recognition of Centers of Excellence Consequences for the German System: Needs for restructuring all Programs to improve compatibility (Process in progress in Dortmund) Appearence of stand-alone Master Programs additionally to the already stablished Programs, with lectures in English Appearence of stand-alone Master Programs with a special Mention (e.g. M.Sc. in e-Learning, Logistics or Data Mining) © cm

12. The next years In the next years there will be strong changes in the Programs of Informatics in Dormund. This will support a better understanding of our Tempus Project, since the concrete goals will be quite close. A better and more fruitful exchange of experiences may be expected. © cm
