Lisbon Recognition Convention

The Lisbon Recognition Convention (LRC) is the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications Concerning Higher Education in the European Region. It was drafted in 1997 by the Council of Europe and Unesco to facilitate and promote fair recognition among Parties of the Convention.

We compare foreign qualifications to Dutch qualifications according to the principles of the Lisbon Recognition Convention. You can find a practical implementation of these standards in the European EAR manual.
