WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU?

Release date: 20 October 2016

In this webinar you will learn about best practices in the recognition of refugees’ and displaced persons’ qualifications, as well as admission strategies for exceptional cases. The pioneering national-level policy for recognising refugees’ qualifications in Norway following the Lisbon ‘Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region’ will be introduced and contrasted with the University of Colorado Boulder based in the USA, where no such national-level policy exists. After this webinar, you will be equipped with the knowledge necessary for taking steps that benefit refugee applicants, your institution and society. As EAIE's contribution to supporting university staff in dealing with the challenges of the refugee crisis, the webinar is now offered for free.
