The Tirana Communique confirmed the continuation of the works of the Thematic Group B on the Lisbon Recognition Convention, as established by the 2018 Paris ministerial document, more specifically on Key Commitment 2 (national legislation and procedures compliant with the Lisbon Recognition Convention). The activity of the working structure is focused on assisting countries in developing and refining legal structures to effectively implement the LRC, working towards seamless recognition of qualifications across EHEA countries, thereby enhancing student and professional mobility and optimizing digital tools to streamline recognition processes and enhance the Diploma Supplement's effectiveness.

Specific thematic indications include topics such as:

• establishing the legal framework to allow the implementation of the LRC,
• establishing the distribution of work and responsibilities among the competent institutions that have the right knowledge and capacity to carry out recognition procedures,
• achieving automatic recognition,
• recognition of alternative pathways,
• qualifications held by refugees,
• optimising the potential of digital technology for the recognition agenda and the Diploma Supplement.
