Webinar recording “Improving recognition through self-assessment: the ‘Spotlight on recognition’ tool”
European University Association (EUA)One of the key outcomes of the “Spotlight on recognition” project is a self-assessment tool that allows staff working in higher education institutions to evaluate to which extent their institution’s recognition procedures are in line with the Lisbon Recognition Convention and international good practice.
