Invitation to the International Seminar on the role of National Qualifications Frameworks and Quality
Assurance in Recognition, Trakošćan, Croatia, 11 December 2013
Dear Madam/Sir,
We are pleased to invite you to attend the International Seminar on the role of National Qualifications Frameworks
and Quality Assurance in Recognition on 11 December 2013 in Trakošćan, Croatia. The Seminar will start at 9:30 and
end at 16:00.
The Seminar will be jointly organised by the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) and
the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, as an activity under the peer learning and
peer review initiative proposed within the Bologna Follow-Up Group work programme.
Referring to some of the Bucharest Communiqué priorities and building on the conclusions from the QA Seminar held
in July 2013 in Biograd na Moru, Croatia, this Seminar will address two specific issues:
ways of establishing an efficient framework for enabling the work of foreign EQAR-registered agencies;
external quality assurance as a reference point for recognition, together with national qualifications
frameworks referenced to the EQF and QF-EHEA.
Based on case studies and practical examples, participants will be invited to engage in in-depth discussions on how to
build on existing experiences and steps to be taken in their systems.
Participation is limited to maximum 30 participants from Ministries of Education, Quality Assurance Agencies,
ENIC/NARIC representatives and stakeholder organisations. In order to ensure focused and explicit discussion,
participants are expected to have an expertise and active interest in the above outlined issues, which should preferably
be connected with their everyday work.
The Seminar will be held at the Hotel Trakošćan located near one of the most beautiful medieval castles in Croatia.

transport between the Zagreb airport and the venue shall be organized and covered by the organisers. Departure times
