The report highlights the status quo regarding accreditation of joint programmes and recognition of qualifications awarded by these programmes. It also presents future perspectives regarding these issues.

The recognition of qualifications awarded by joint programmes
Does an ENIC-NARIC recognise a degree awarded by a joint programme that is offered by a consortium of three institutions, if the joint programme is not recognised as such in one of the countries concerned? ENIC-NARICs of the countries where the joint programme is recognised would say yes. Most ENIC-NARICs however would regard this joint programme arrangement as a means for a non-recognised programme or its institution to flee the national regulatory framework and thus they would not recognise that degree.

How to assess and accredit joint programmes in Europe- Methodologies tested and proposed by the TEAM2 project
Is it possible for several QA- agencies to cooperate on one single accreditation procedure of a joint programme? If so, what should the outline of such a procedure be?
These and similar questions have been addressed in the TEAM II report: "How to assess and accredit joint programmes in Europe"

Joint programmes; Too many cooks in the kitchen?
In June 2010 the TEAM II Dissemination conference Joint programmes; too many cooks in the kitchen? was organised in Graz, Austria. During this conference important topics related to accreditation of joint programmes and recognition of qualifications by these programmes were discussed.
In the conference publication; Joint programmes; too many cooks in the kitchen? we have given room for important stakeholders of European higher education such as the European Commision, EUA, EURASHE, ESU and ENIC-NARICs to present their perspectives on these issues. We are also raising some discussions which are important for future developments of accreditation of joint programmes and recognition of qualifications awarded by these programmes.

The recognition of qualifications from joint programmes by HEIs.
The number of joint programmes in Europe is still increasing. Consequently the number of degrees awarded by these programmes are also increasing. We know that national recognition authorities have diverging practices when recognising such degrees. However, such degrees are also being recognised by credential evaluators at HEI's.
What do we really know about their practices? What is e.g. the current state of affairs when institutions receive applications from graduates of these types of programmes, and need to ‘recognise’ qualifications awarded by joint programmes?
The report below is seeking to give new insight into these and similar issues.
