Summary/Abstract: The title of Ildikó Hrubos’s article is Eternal higher education values – with changing emphases. The Bologna Declaration that started the European higher education reform in 1999 listed student and staff mobility as one of six fundamental goals. The reason that mobility plays a paramount role in reform is that it is vital in order to achieve the real goal: the international mobility of graduates in the labour market. For the funding providers the creation of a European elite was the unspoken goal, whose members will gain experience at other European universities, as students, which will make mobility in the European labour market easier for them. Originally, the Bologna reform was designed within a European context but, soon, external effects – the globalisation of higher education and research – became apparent. In order to develop national and European strategies, the construction of harmonised data collection systems, clarification of fundamental concepts, and the economic, cultural, academic and human values of mobility are needed.
