Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the informational aspects of ensuring the social development of higher education – the strategic objective in creating the European higher education area. The importance of the informational aspects of social dimension in higher education is indicated by the fact that the EU education and training policy is based on the open method of coordination. Informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education are examined by performing an analysis of the EU documents on policy strategy, the Bologna Process documents, and the Bologna process progress report. The investigation has revealed a growing emphasis on the informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education, which is caused by the lack of respective information, the shortage of national data and non-comparability problems. In the analysis of the Bologna process report, the paper notes an expanding reach of the informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education.
