Streamlining recognition practices:A European Area of Recognition manual (2)
“Fair academic and professional recognition, including recognition of non formal and informal learning, is at the core of the EHEA….We welcome the European Area of Recognition (EAR) Manual and recommend its use as
a set of guidelines for recognition of foreign qualifications and a compendium of good practices, as well as encourage higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies to assess institutional recognition procedures in internal and external quality assurance”

2. Considerations for determining the structure and activities of TAICEP
![Page 13: Building TAICEP. Reflections from a European perspective. Jenneke Lokhoff TAICEP Inaugural Symposium Boston, 21 October 2013](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020800/551a471a550346cb358b5887/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consideration 1:How to account for recognition context?
International credential evaluator practices: Regional differences; Centre specific.
Challenge for: Professional Development Activities (training/methodology)? Developing standards?
What kind of standards? One or plural? Who decides?
Governance structure: Representation? (Why not include -representations- of organizations as well?)

Consideration 2:Build further on existing efforts (while offering something new)
Worldwide already lots of research, initiatives, projects to improve credential evaluation and recognition practices.

3. The need to build a professional organization
![Page 16: Building TAICEP. Reflections from a European perspective. Jenneke Lokhoff TAICEP Inaugural Symposium Boston, 21 October 2013](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020800/551a471a550346cb358b5887/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Global platform for professionals
Need: Ever increasing student mobility, still recognition problems International credential evaluation is per definition international Currently no global organization to facilitate (interregional) dialogue
Global platform to facilitate information sharing, dialogue and support
