TPG B on Lisbon Recognition Convention

TPG LRC Plus Seminar on automatic recognition “Automatic Recognition from policy to practice: mapping progress and exploring future developments”

Online

16 April 2026

The first TPG-LRC Plus public seminar aimed at stimulating reflection on automatic recognition.

The seminar focused on presenting:

  • first-hand updates from the latest European and international policy developments in the field of qualifications recognition;
  • experiences from higher education institutions in EHEA countries;
  • the most recent tools, databases, and initiatives at international and national level.

The event involved participants interested in qualifications recognition, especially the staff of higher education institutions, of ENIC-NARIC centres and experts in higher education. The seminar was held in English, and was the occasion to stay informed, share expertise, and connect with colleagues both at regional and international level.
