Diploma Supplement
	The Diploma Supplement was initiated by UNESCO and revised jointly by UNESCO, the European Commission and the Council of Europe to provide additional information on students' qualifications. A subsidiary text to the Convention for the Recognition of Qualifications Concerning Higher Education in the European Region (Lisbon 1997), it is a tool for promoting the transparency of higher education qualifications (Lisbon Recognition Convention Section IX. Article IX.3). The Diploma Supplement explains the contents of the qualifications delivered by higher education institutions in an internationally understandable form. It was piloted in 35 institutions and is meant to always be used with the diploma, never alone. The information provided in the Diploma Supplement is:
