Recognition of professional qualifications

Howard Davies

This briefing looks back on developments affecting Europe’s recognition regimes – both professional and academic – in 2023.

The recognition of professional and academic qualifications is subject to constant revision in normal times. In 2023, the aftermath of Covid-19, economic challenges, the digital and green transitions, new geo-strategic configurations hastened the efforts to integrate the EU labour market and to construct the European Education Area. This policy briefing highlights the relevant policy developments. It includes sections on Ukraine, the UK and the Western Balkans.
