PLA on credit recognition with partner countries

In the framework of the project „Continuing EHEA Reforms in Hungary” Tempus Public Foundation (Hungarian Erasmus+ National Agency) in partnership with the Ministry of Human Capacities organises a Peer Learning Activity (PLA) on Credit Recognition with Erasmus+ Partner countries.

Date: 27-28. November 2018 (1,5 days)
Venue: Novotel Budapest Centrum (Rákóczi út 43-45., 1088 Budapest)

As the number of mobilities to and from partner countries is growing and will grow in the future, there is a strong need to discuss questions related to credit recognition within the International Credit Mobility action and possibly in other scholarship programmes concerning mobilities to and from non-European countries, as well.

The planned PLA will host about 40 participants from both Programme and Partner countries, including colleagues from National Agencies, National Erasmus+ Offices, experts active in the field of Higher Education, Higher Education Institutions staff and other stakeholders.

FOCAL POINTS

Topics, questions, suggestions for discussion

  • need of a platform for continuous communication; networking,
  • maximization of mobility (students, staff, experts),
  • resistance to mobility and internationalisation,
  • main problem sources of CR,
  • international directives, policies,
  • implementation of good practices,
  • elaboration of good quality assurance mechanisms,
  • ways to simplify/automatize CR processes,
  • ECTS and other existing systems: a comparative approach,
