Recognition
Recognition is the "formal acknowledgement by a competent authority of the value of an educational qualification with a view to access to educational and/or employment activities". A competent authority is "a body officially charged with making binding decisions on the recognition of foreign qualifications".[1]
The recognition of "studies, certificates, diplomas and degrees obtained in another country […] represents an important measure for promoting academic ↑mobility".[2] In the Prague Communiqué (2001), the European Ministers called upon existing organisations and networks such as the ↑ENIC Network/NARIC Network to "promote, at institutional, national and European level, simple, efficient and fair recognition"[3] based on the ↑Lisbon Recognition Convention.
