From the 11. – 14. March the Bologna summit is held in Vienna and Budapest where 47 science and education ministers celebrate the 10 years anniversary of the standardized University system. On the 11. of March thousends of students (Organizers: 10000 to 12000, Police: 3200) are protesting on the streets of Vienna.
