Launch of the Erasmus+ project '3-IN-AT-PLUS' and establishment of a European RPL Network
Within the Erasmus+ project INterconnection/INnovation/INclusion: Austrian contributions to the EHEA 2030 (3-IN-AT-PLUS) AQ Austria is leading a work package aiming at the establishment and coordination of a European RPL Network.
The network initiative draws on project partners from the predecessor project Recognition of Prior Learning in Practice (RPLiP) as well as on existing national networks from the partner countries. The focus of the network is on the exchange of experience and learning from each other on recognition issues. This exchange is to be strengthened and institutionalized through peer learning, study visits and individual advisory visits. A strategic goal is the long-term cooperation of the project partners and the expansion of the network to further partner countries and European institutions.
