Transnational education in the Adriatic and Mediterranean regions: Regulation, quality assurance and information provision in 7 countries

This document has been developed in the framework of the MAReN project, which has the main objective of implementing the “Council Recommendation on promoting automatic mutual recognition of higher education and upper secondary education and training qualifications and the outcomes of learning periods abroad” in the countries of the Mediterranean region. MAReN stems from the experience of the AdReN project, and the present publication is the result of this synergy, providing the reader with a comparative overview of information on regulations, quality assurance and information provision in the 7 partner countries involved in both projects, in the Adriatic and Mediterranean region.
In this light, the state of play on transnational education (TNE) in MAReN partner countries (Croatia, Italy, France, Portugal and Spain) and the revised edition of the publication previously published in the framework of the AdReN project (partner countries: Croatia, Italy, Greece, Slovenia), have been analysed with the aim of gaining a better understanding of how and to what extent automatic recognition can be applied to TNE.
