Presentation Description (for publishing in the conference program)
The Bologna Process and the world of recognition are merging. The European Standards Guidelines (ESG 2015) explicitly address the link between the Lisbon Recognition Convention and quality assurance (QA). But, what does this mean and what is the interaction between QA and recognition? NOKUT as the central Norwegian accreditation and recognition authority has a dual role in these processes. This session explores how recognition is important to and its impacts on QA as well as how it serves as a key consideration for HEIs to achieve strategic ambitions.
