The ECBA compared the European curricula twice in the last 30 years. There are now developments which make it urgent to do it again. First of all there is a "new" biology. A term used for today's biology in the USA and they mean business. This new idea may have an impact on how we want to organise Biology education in Europe. A good example can be the field of systems biology. A FEBS letter provides a good overview of the field. Secondly we are now well on our way in the bama structure. Like always we presume no major differences between countries and/or institutes. At national level there are already initiatives to update science to the reality of the 21st century.
The most important initiative to harmonize Europe's academic education , facilitate mobility and employability of students, and increase the European dimension in higher education is the Bologna process. In Science online (May 2010) is a good article which provides an overvieuw of 10 years Bologna process.
