Monitoring Fundamental Values in the EHEA

D2.1 - Technical Implementation Methodology for the Monitoring Framework of Fundamental Values
D2.2 – Two mutual learning workshops for National Operators (online)
D2.3 – Fundamental values feedback collection online platform
D2.4 – Bologna Process Fundamental Values monitoring report

D2.3 – An online platform dedicated to collecting feedback related to fundamental values and being of help for the monitoring phase will be created.
The platform will be used by the national operators and will remain open for two weeks at the end of the data collection phase.
