Any structure in terms of recognition of qualifications and competences acquired elsewhere is lacking for third country nationals who wish to continue their studies in Europe after they have already made their way into higher education outside Europe. It is clear that there is no proper tool to enable universities and universities of applied sciences to effectively scale up the qualifications and competences of third country nationals. MaxiPAC.EU wants to develop such a tool or procedure. We now see great differences in approach between the different higher education institutions in different European countries, but also between universities in the same country and even within the same educational institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Duration:&nbsp;2020 &#8211; 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Funding:&nbsp;EU Erasmus+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Principal Investigator:&nbsp;Apostolos Papadopoulos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Research Team: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekke.gr\/en\/centre\/personnel\/mpaltas-paulos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pavlos Baltas,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekke.gr\/en\/centre\/personnel\/frentzou-christina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christina Frentzou<\/a>, Loukia Maria Fratsea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekke.gr\/en\/centre\/personnel\/theofili-alexandra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexandra Theofili<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekke.gr\/en\/centre\/personnel\/tramountanis-aggelos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Angelo Tramountanis<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maximising Previously Acquired Competences in Europe (MaxiPAC.eu) The overall goal of the project is for third-country nationals, such as refugees, to have optimal opportunities in European higher education.
