Projects
ECA is a project in itself. But in order to facilitate its cooperation and to contribute to achieving its aims, ECA has carried out various projects in the field of accreditation.
TEAM II
ECA is presently conducting the TEAM II project. The main aims of TEAM II is to explore recognition of qualifications from joint programmes and facilitate accreditation of these programmes.
In order to achieve the aims of the project a variety of activities are being carried out. E.g. a focus group consisiting of ENIC/NARICs are analysing practices related to the recognition of qualifications from joint programmes. And, five pilot accreditation procedures are being carried out by the partner organisations in order to try to develop a methodology for single accreditation procedures of joint programmes.
The outcomes of TEAM II will be presented at a dissemination conference in Graz on 10 and 11 June, 2010.
Qrossroads
Qrossroads is actually the result of the TEAM projects but deserves some special attention here. The main aim of Qrossroads is to present the qualifications awarded by programmes and institutions that were quality assured and accredited. The members of ECA have implemented a system in which their databases can communicate all the relevenant information to a central database. In return they can gather information from that central database to be used in their own database.
