Description of the Initiative<\/h2>\n

The Working Group was established to follow up the mandate by the Ministers during the ASEMME3 in 2011 during which the Ministers suggested exploring the feasibility of setting up an ASEM convention on mutual recognition of degrees and study achievements (including the establishment of National Information and Recognition Centres in all ASEM countries).<\/p>\n

After intensive discussions, the Working Group considered it feasible to set up a bridging \u201cASEM Recognition Agreement\u201d with reference to the two Conventions (Lisbon Recognition Convention and Tokyo Recognition Convention) rather than formulating a new \u201cASEM Recognition Convention\u201d. The Working Group expressed its conviction that an \u201cASEM Convention\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

The ASEM Bridging Declaration<\/a> (known as Beijing Declaration), is implemented through three action plans:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Building the Asian National Information Centers Coordinating Website (ANICCW). <\/li>\n
  2. Drafting the Handbook of Guidelines, Principles and Good Practices on Recognition in the ASEM Region;<\/li>\n
  3. Establishing the Cross-border Quality Assurance Network (CBQAN).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
