Ensuring and enhancing the quality of recognition processes: Key considerations and recommendations

This report explores the quality of academic recognition procedures in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). It understands the term “quality” in the context of recognition both as compliance with the Lisbon Recognition Convention (LRC) and as quality assurance (QA) of recognition procedures, in line with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG). The report aims to provide key insights and recommendations on how to better implement the LRC (and, further, the ESG), as well as how to better link recognition and QA.

This document was developed within the TPG-LRC Constructing Recognition in the EHEA (TPG-LRC CoRE) project, which aims to support the implementation of the Bologna Process focusing on its key commitment 2 on national legislation and procedures compliant with the Lisbon Recognition Convention in the countries of the Thematic Peer Group B (TPG B).
