Convention Bodies
The Convention established two bodies which oversee, promote and facilitate the implementation of the Convention:
- the Committee of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region, and
- the European Network of Information Centres on Academic Mobility and Recognition (the ENIC Network).
The Committee is responsible for promoting the application of the Convention and overseeing its implementation. To this end, it can adopt, by a majority of the Signatory Parties, recommendations, declarations, protocols and models of good practice to guide the competent authorities of the Parties. Before making its decisions, the Committee seeks the opinion of the ENIC Network. As for the ENIC Network, it upholds and assists the practical implementation of the Convention by the competent national authorities.
