The network's self image & goals

The network...

  • ... sees itself as a professional network of experts committed to promoting the recognition of non-formally and informally acquired competences. Our common goal is to raise awareness of the benefits of recognition and to actively strengthen the development and implementation of quality-assured procedures.
  • ... facilitates the exchange of experiences and examples of good practice between representatives of all higher education sectors. In doing so, the network contributes to the intersectoral transfer of knowledge in the field of recognition of non-formally and informally acquired competences.
  • ... is in an active and close exchange with the institutions of the Austrian higher education area and the relevant interest groups.
  • ... is closely connected with the European RPL Network and other European institutions outside the Austrian higher education area and thus allows for a transnational exchange of experiences and examples of good practice at European level.
