Actually, yes, I think that's why they chose Bologna for the initial 
talks.  It was a recognition of the university there as the beginning 
of European higher education.

I think it's "oldest surviving" though.  There were comparable learning 
centers in the Islamic world that preceded Bologna, although I don't 
recall the specifics off hand.
