On 26 February 2021 was held the webinar “The Global Recognition Convention: Impact On Transnational Education”, Considering the current situation of the Covid-19 pandemic, ECA wanted to promote the dialogue among its members and is organizing a series of webinars. This webinar focused on recognition and particularly on the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education, which was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in November 2019.
The Global Convention aims to facilitate international academic mobility and exchanges of students, teachers, researchers and job seekers, while promoting the right of individuals to have their higher education qualifications evaluated through fair, transparent and non-discriminatory manners.
