  6. The European context A system of accumulation and transfer of credits (of the ECTS type already used successfully under Socrates-Erasmus); Mobility of students, teachers and researchers; Cooperation with regard to quality assurance; The European dimension of higher education.

  8. The European Context – EQF European Qualification Framework to facilitate the transfer and recognition of qualifications held by individual citizens by linking qualifications systems at thenational and sectoral levels and enabling them to relate to each other. The EQF will therefore act as a translation device and will be one of the principal European mechanisms intended to facilitate citizens' mobility for work and study alongside, for example, Erasmus, the European Credit Transfer System and Europass. http://ec.europa.eu/education/policies/educ/eqf/index_en.html Mellange Workshop Vienna
