First Meeting of the Regional Network of National Recognition Structures of the New Regional Convention on the Recognition of Studies

The New Regional Convention on the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and Degrees in Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (2019), which entered into force on 23 October 2022, provides for creating a regional network of national information and recognition centers. The network aims to support the practical implementation of the Convention and to facilitate the exchange of information on recognition and international student mobility.

A first virtual meeting was convened aimed at the various national bodies in the region responsible for the recognition of degrees, diplomas, and studies, with the objective of starting the process of setting up this network of national centres. The online meeting will take place on Thursday 16 March from 10:00 to 11:00 am (Caracas GMT-4).

The purpose of this virtual meeting is to exchange and collect information, opinions and priorities of the national structures related to recognition, as well as to initiate the creation of a regional network of national recognition structures. We will also inform about the first meeting of the Committee of the New Regional Convention for the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and Degrees in Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, which will take place soon in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, on 13 and 14 April 2023.
