EU-CERT
European Certificates And Accreditation For European Projects
The main goal of the EU-CERT project is to define, design and implement European criteria for ERASMUS+ project accreditation and to develop a stable accreditation structure that will also run sustainable after the end of the EU-CERT project.
The project idea of EU-CERT directly relates to four core aspects of EU policy
(a) “Recognition of skills and qualifications” (https://ec.europa.eu/education/policies/european-policy-cooperation/development-skills_en)
(b) “EU initiatives on transparency and recognition of skills and qualifications”
(c) the “Reinforcing the development of key competences” which is in line with the Council
(d) “Recommendation on key competences for lifelong learning”. Apart from these research- based needs recommendations by several authorities, each of the partners express their own needs to enhance practitioners practice and to make high quality visible and transparent in adult education.
