EHEA en automatische erkenning Bucharest Communiqué (2012): “We are willing to work together towards the automatic recognition of comparable academic degrees, building on the tools of the Bologna framework, as a long-term goal of the EHEA.” “At the European level, we will support the work of a pathfinder group of countries exploring ways to achieve the automatic academic recognition of comparable degrees.”
Pathfinder Group on Automatic Recognition Verkennen concept ‘Automatic recognition’ Werkgroep is experiment binnen Bologna Process Klein aantal landen (OCW namens NL vertegenwoordigd) Rapport is door BFUG goed ontvangen
Aanbevelingen Pathfinder Group (I) “To ensure that qualifications are recognised on an equal level with domestic qualifications”
“To modify legislation which obliges HEIs to primarily apply formal and quantifiable criteria (length of studies/number of credits) in recognition”
“To simplify national regulation surrounding recognition practices” “To advise HEIs on properly implementing the LRC and on increasing the use of qualitative criteria, such as the achievement of Learning Outcomes”
Aanbevelingen Pathfinder Group (II) “To draw more effectively on the potential of qualifications frameworks for recognition”
“To endorse the recently published EAR-HEI Manual as a reference framework to guide recognition processes”
“To further reduce the maximum time limit for recognition decisions” “To support the role of Quality Assurance assessing recognition processes in HEIs”
Benelux beschikking: automatische erkenning Beschikking van het Benelux Comité van Ministers (mei 2015); Doel: de automatische wederzijdse erkenning van hogeronderwijsgraden op generiek niveau; Bachelor = Bachelor en Master = Master; Bouwt voort op automatische erkenning tussen Vlaanderen en Nederland (accreditatieverdrag).
FAIR project – Focus on Automatic Institutional Recognition Erasmus+ KA3 Policy experimentation project; Ministeries van Onderwijs zijn volwaardige project partners naast erkenningscentra, hoger onderwijsinstellingen en ‘evaluation bodies’. Test hypothese “automatic recognition leads to better recognition procedures”: o Meten verbeteren van erkenningsprocedures in 2 trials o Aanbevelingen op nationaal en Europees niveau o Implementatie op nationaal niveau
FAIR project - Partners & Rollen 37 partners: 6 landen: - België (Vlaanderen), Duitsland, Italië, Kroatië, Nederland en Spanje: o Ministeries van Onderwijs o ENIC-NARICs o 23 HOs (6 x 4 = 24 – 1 = 23) European University Association (‘Externe Evaluator’ of ‘Evaluation Body’) European Consortium of Accreditation (ECA) ENIC-NARIC Denemarken (Peer review door ‘critical friend’)

Revised European Standards & Guidelines en erkenning
“Standards & Guidelines for Quality Assurance” (ESG) 1.4 Student admission, progression, recognition and certification
Standard: Institutions should consistently apply pre-defined and published regulations covering all phases of the student “life cycle”, e.g. student admission, progression, recognition and certification.
Guidelines: Appropriate recognition procedures rely on: institutional practice for recognition being in line with the LRC cooperation with other institutions, QA agencies and the national ENIC/NARIC centre to ensure coherent recognition across the country.
