This page provides links to the text of this Convention in Arabic, English, French and Spanish under 'Legal Instruments' in .pdf format and in English in .html format are available in the 'Related Resources'. The list of Ratifying Member States as well as the contact information for the Secretariat of this Convention are available in the attached documents. The ENIC Network (European Network of Information Centres) To implement the Lisbon Recognition Convention and, in general, to develop policy and practice for the recognition of qualifications, the Council of Europe and UNESCO have established the ENIC Network (European Network of National Information Centres on academic recognition and mobility). The Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES jointly provide the Secretariat for the ENIC Network. The ENIC Network cooperates closely with the NARIC Network of the European Union. The Network is made up of the national information centres of the States party to the European Cultural Convention or the UNESCO Europe Region. An ENIC is a body set up by the national authorities. While the size and specific competence of ENIC may vary, they will generally provide information on: - the recognition of foreign diplomas, degrees and other qualifications; - education systems in both foreign countries and the ENIC’s own country; - opportunities for studying abroad, including information on loans and scholarships, as well as advice on practical questions related to mobility and equivalence European Network for Quality Assurance (ENQA) ENQA is a European Network to disseminate information, experiences, good practices and new developments in the field of quality assessment and quality assurance in higher education between interested parties: public authorities, higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies.

Quality Assurance - MEDA Region(Evqua-MEDA) The aim of the Quality Assurance MEDA region project is to set up or reinforce national and/or regional HE Quality Assurance systems. The strategic reflection on QA policies will be based on a pilot evaluation project which will allow to increase awareness of quality issues and evaluation culture, to test out methods to then be able to apply them to each national context, and finally to share experiences between different institutions and countries at differing stages in the implementation of Quality Assurance systems. The pilot project concerns Engineering education as this sector is already more open than others to international perspectives and aware of Quality issues. The project includes 7 countries from the MEDA region and has a Consortium of 22 members, of which 14 MEDA institutions providing for engineering education.
