Objectives of the Invitation

  and
   
• aim at implementing priorities in the field of recognition set in the framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy  and the European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process).

The Invitation is restricted to NARIC centres established in one of the countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme. Applications for funding may be submitted by a single NARIC centre or a consortium (more details are available in the Invitation). Non-NARIC institutions can also participate in projects co-funded under this Invitation.
