European Higher Education Area (EHEA)
This action aims to foster the collaborative engagement of EHEA national authorities, EHEA consultative members, higher education institutions and, in general, all relevant stakeholders in bottom-up activities to address the gaps identified in the Bologna Process Implementation Report 2024, or to achieve the priorities of the Tirana Communiqué. In general, the proposed projects should support the implementation of the Bologna process, as well as its commitments, which are crucial for the further evolution of the EHEA.
In line with the Tirana Communiqué, adopted in May 2024 at the Ministerial Conference of the European Higher Education Area, this action will support projects working on one or more of the themes and priorities outlined in the Communique. These may cover, among others, support for: implementation of key commitments; setting up a long-term, independent, internationally staffed secretariat; the future-proof development of Bologna tools; the working structures established by the BFUG.
National Academic Recognition Information Centers (NARIC)
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.
The action will support projects working on the following themes and priorities.
Higher Education - Reaching automatic recognition:
- Supporting the achievement of automatic recognition of academic qualifications;
- Transparent and fair recognition of qualifications of third-country nationals.
