Topic description

Scope:

The National Academic Recognition Information Centres (NARIC) network plays a major role in supporting the achievement of automatic recognition of qualifications and of the outcomes of learning periods abroad. This is a key priority both of the European Education Area (EEA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and crucial for the achievement of the 2018 Council Recommendation on automatic mutual recognition of higher education and upper secondary education and training qualifications and the outcomes of learning periods abroad.

This action aims to support NARICs in implementing the key EU and EHEA commitments in the area of recognition, in particular automatic mutual recognition and fair recognition practices for the qualifications of third-country nationals. They should aim to address the gaps identified in the Commission’s report to the Council on the implementation of the 2018 Council Recommendation on automatic mutual recognition of higher education and upper secondary education and training qualifications and the outcomes of learning periods abroad, as well as the Bologna Process Implementation Report 2024, and full implementation of the Lisbon Recognition Convention.
