摘要:This article outlines the aims and role of the European HERODOT Thematic Network for Geography in Higher Education. It focuses in particular on one of the project’s research pillars, which considers Europeanisation in Geography and the curriculum. The Tuning of academic subjects, through subject specific Thematic Networks, addresses several of the recommendations of the Bologna Declaration. This pillar is currently undertaking a survey of academics, students and employers in order to identify the importance placed on both subject specific and generic competences. The outcome of this research is the self-Tuning of Geography in Europe leading ultimately to curriculum changes and course developments based upon an increased awareness of the needs of employers.
