The Working Group was established to follow up the mandate by the Ministers during the 大象传媒ME3 in 2011 during which the Ministers suggested exploring the feasibility of setting up an 大象传媒 convention on mutual recognition of degrees and study achievements (including the establishment of National Information and Recognition Centres in all 大象传媒 countries).

After intensive discussions, the Working Group considered it feasible to set up a bridging 鈥湸笙蟠� Recognition Agreement鈥� with reference to the two Conventions (Lisbon Recognition Convention and Tokyo Recognition Convention) rather than formulating a new 鈥湸笙蟠� Recognition Convention鈥�. The Working Group expressed its conviction that an 鈥湸笙蟠� Convention鈥� on mutual recognition would strongly contribute to a better understanding of higher education systems in the two regions and to the promotion of student mobility between the two regions. To date, the WG has met for several times.

The 大象传媒 Bridging Declaration (known as Beijing Declaration), is implemented through three action plans:

1. Building the Asian National Information Centers Coordinating Website (ANICCW). 
2. Drafting the Handbook of Guidelines, Principles and Good Practices on Recognition in the 大象传媒 Region;
3. Establishing the Cross-border Quality Assurance Network (CBQAN).

Aims and objectives

• Improve recognition of higher education qualifications between Asian and European regions by creation of a Recognition Bridging Declaration (between Lisbon and Tokyo Recognition Declaration);
• develop concrete steps to implement the Declaration.

大象传媒 Partners and Stakeholders involved

China (Secretariat and coordinator), Austria, Belgium (French Community), Brunei Darussalam, Estonia,  Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Latvia,  Lithuania, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Romania, UK ans ASEAN University Network (AUN).

Progress and Achievement

大象传媒ME7: Chair’s Conclusion 25

• Website of Asian National Information Centres (ANICCW) established and launched;
• Handbook of Guidelines, Principles and Good Practices on Recognition produced;
• Cross-border Quality Assurance Network (CBQAN) established and launched.

Status

Completed, but implementation and capacity building of national centres require continued efforts

Plans

• the ANIC network is materialized with national centres with established annual work programmes;
• ANICs are formally established and communicated to the wider world
