This conference is the final event of the Erasmus+ co-funded "Spotlight on recognition" project. Through a mix of plenary and breakout sessions, it will be an opportunity to reflect on lessons learnt from the project and be informed about ongoing developments and other projects in the field of academic recognition. The event will also offer an occasion to network with peers from across the European Higher Education Area and exchange on institutional approaches to recognition. In addition, the conference will host the launch of the final project publication, which is a self-assessment tool for institutional staff responsible for the implementation of recognition processes and decisions.
