31st Annual Joint Meeting of the ENIC and NARIC Networks in Naples
UK ENIC Interim Managing Director, Tracy Ferrier, and Jodie Duffy, UK ENIC Head of Information Development, attended the 31st Annual Joint Meeting of the ENIC-NARIC Networks, which took place in Naples, Italy, from 23-25 June.
The two-day programme, consisting of plenary and breakout sessions, brought together participants with diverse backgrounds and expertise to discuss and share insights on a range of issues.
Jodie Duffy delivered a presentation on the Tracking Refugee Applications for Study and Employment in the UK (TRASE UK) project.
Funded by the Council of Europe, the project provided valuable insights into how refugee applicants, higher education institutions and employers use the Statement of Comparability, and the challenges refugees face in accessing further study or employment, as well as providing practical recommendations for further support.
Tracy Ferrier said: ‘It was a pleasure representing UK ENIC, and connecting with other ENICS and NARICs from Europe and beyond. It was an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and learning and gain insights into challenges and opportunities for the international recognition of qualifications.’
The event included a keynote address, 'How Artificial Intelligence changes Education and Research and our work as Credential Evaluators' by Prof. Enzo Maria Le Fevre Cervini, Senior Researcher of the Laboratory on Innovation and Artificial Intelligence (IALAB) of the University of Buenos Aires.
