The AR25 project aims to support the implementation of the Council (of the European Union) Recommendation on promoting automatic mutual recognition of qualifications and learning periods abroad and achieve automatic recognition by 2025. It does so through the following activities:
- Bringing institutional recognition procedures in line with the principles of the Lisbon Recognition Convention through the promotion of the self-assessment tool “Improved recognition”, which was developed through the EUA-coordinated and Erasmus+ funded “Spotlight on recognition” project (2020-2022);
- Supporting (future work on) the recognition of study periods in upper secondary education via a mapping of national arrangements in recognition and identifying challenges and areas for improvement;
- Building capacity among higher education institutions on how to evaluate micro-credentials, including on automatic recognition and by updating the Micro-evaluator app, which facilitates the evaluation and recognition of micro-credentials;
- Updating the European Area of Recognition Manual for Higher Education Institutions (EAR -HEI) to support streamlining of recognition practices.
Target groups of the AR25 project are: higher education institutions, ENIC-NARIC centres, stakeholders in recognition in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and European Education Area (quality assurance organisations, rectors conferences, etc.), stakeholders in mobility in upper secondary education.
The AR25 project is co-funded by Erasmus+ and coordinated by Nuffic. The consortium also includes the following partners:
- The European University Association (EUA)
- The European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU)
- The European Consortium for Accreditation (ECA)
- ENIC-NARIC Austria
- ENIC-NARIC Croatia
- ENIC-NARIC Denmark
- ENIC-NARIC Estonia
- ENIC-NARIC France
- ENIC-NARIC Ireland
- ENIC-NARIC Italy
- ENIC-NARIC Lithuania
- ENIC-NARIC Malta
- ENIC-NARIC Norway
- ENIC-NARIC Poland
- ENIC-NARIC Sweden
- ENIC UK
- ENIC Ukraine
The project runs from 2023 until 2025.

The Staff development for learning and teaching at European universities (STAFF-DEV) project aims to analyse how staff development and academic assessment are conducted at European higher education institutions (HEIs) and to strengthen institutional capacity and strategies in this regard. In doing so, STAFF-DEV seeks to contribute to policy making in reforming academic assessment and careers in Europe.
The project will promote interconnected higher education systems by looking at how staff development works in transnational cooperation, as well as by ultimately supporting higher education institutions to implement the Recommendations for the Enhancement of Higher Education Learning and Teaching from the Bologna Process, which address staff development.
STAFF-DEV is coordinated by EUA in a consortium with the University of Oslo (Norway), University College Cork (Ireland), Utrecht University (the Netherlands) and Ruhr University Bochum (Germany). Alongside the project team, STAFF-DEV also benefits from the input of an Advisory Board comprised of leading experts on the topic.
The project runs from January 2024 until December 2026. It is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission.

The Inspireurope+ project works to coordinate and strengthen support in Europe for researchers at risk. It runs from September 2022 to August 2025, building on the work undertaken by the previous Inspireurope project (2019-2022).
Inspireurope+ is grounded in the idea that excellence in research depends upon free and open scientific debate and requires a diversity of perspectives and methodologies to flourish. Globally, challenges to academic freedom and related pressures on individual researchers remain significant. In many countries and regions researchers face risks to their life, liberty and careers. When researchers are at risk, and excluded from participating in the global research community, whether due to discrimination, persecution, disaster or violence, not only are individual lives and careers at risk; the very future of research is also at stake.
The skills and attributes of researchers at risk carry significant research potential for hosting countries in Europe. The coordination of efforts between researchers at risk and actors experienced in the work of support and solidarity is required for this research potential to be more fully realised on a Europe-wide scale. In recognition of a shared commitment to excellence in research and to the principles of freedom of inquiry and academic freedom that are essential for world-class research, the Inspireurope+ partners coordinate activities across Europe to support researchers at risk.
Inspireurope+ is led by Scholars at Risk Europe (based in Maynooth University, Ireland). For more information, please visit the project website.

As part of the EU’s response to the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine, MSCA4Ukraine provides support to displaced researchers from Ukraine. Funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, this dedicated fellowship scheme will enable displaced researchers to continue their work at academic and non-academic organisations in EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries, while maintaining their connections to research and innovation communities in Ukraine. The scheme may also facilitate researchers’ reintegration in Ukraine if conditions for safe return are met, in order to prevent permanent brain drain, and contribute to strengthening the Ukrainian university and research sector and collaboration and exchange with the international research community.
The MSCA4Ukraine scheme will provide an important EU response to the current emergency while demonstrating the EU’s core principles of academic freedom and freedom of scientific research.
