4 June 2019
Grandium Prague, Politických vězňů 913/12, 110 00 Nové Město, Prague, Czech Republic
The conference was organized within the framework of the Thematic Peer Group A on Qualification Frameworks which was established by the BFUG to promote the implementation of the Key Commitment 1: a three-cycle system compatible with the overarching frameworks of the EHEA and first and second cycle degrees scaled by ECTS. One of the subthemes of the Peer Group is the complete implementation of the ECTS User’s Guide.
The conference was open to representatives of EHEA governments, representatives of national agencies responsible for ECTS and/or EHEA issues and quality assurance agencies representatives.
