qENTRY+ Project

The second phase of the project started in 2020. Its aim is to support the implementation of automatic recognition. In this light, the main deliverables of the project are to further implement the existing Q-ENTRY database both from a geographical and a quantitative point of view and to publish practical guidelines on automatic recognition targeted to higher education stakeholders.

Taking into consideration that the database has been conceived to be a tool to spread knowledge about automatic recognition and to share information with the widest possible audience, an ad hoc communication strategy has been launched.

“Automatic recognition in practice – examples and tools from the project partner countries”

The publication gives an overview of how automatic recognition is treated and implemented in project partner countries by providing examples and tools from each national context. The first section describes how access to higher education is regulated in partner countries; the second one presents the results of the focus groups held at national level; the last section contains final considerations on the information collected in the study. It is enriched with insights given during the ENIC-NARIC Joint Meeting held in June 2022.
