This line of development focuses on the creation of a credit system, called "Military-ECTS", to better compare workloads and facilitate mutual recognition between different countries for academic and vocational education and training in the military. The timeline, purpose, calculation of MECTS, MECTS User's Guide, and the way forward are discussed in this document.

Situation Academic Education Overall Basic Officer Education (considered as “academic”) Military Training Hours, Days, ……. ECTS
Country „A“ Country „B“ Academic Academic Vocational Vocational Purpose • Better comparison of workloads • Facilitate mutual recognition

The way ahead(steps) • Identify Modules foreseen for international participation • Calculate MECTS • Give information (EMILYO-homepage?) example see next page • Send participants • Recognise at home-institution
Country „A“ Country „B“ Academic Academic Vocational Vocational Recognition(aim) recognition (“academic” or “military”) will remainnational responsibility
MECTS User‘ Guide(information) • EMILYO-homepage • http://campus.milak.at/campus/iep/index_iep.php
Summary • (After today’s discussion) MECTS could be implemented immediately • Place information about Modules where all MS can find it • LOD2-work will be included(when ready)
