For the academic year 2010/2011 Campus Europae database of academic equivalences has been considerably reviewed and expanded. This database is designed to enable mobile students finding courses abroad which are equivalent to their own, which should reflect in the preparation of more accurate and reliable academic agreements.

For 2010/2011 the database covers the subject areas of Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Education and Teacher Training, History of Art and Physics, and in the course of the next weeks the database will be expanded further as information about courses in History, Law and Tourism will be added.

Such a project is only possible thanks to the involvement of the CE subject committees, for the process to establish the ex-ante recognition equivalences is truly immersive. The professors start by sharing detailed information about the curricula of the courses at their home university and proceed by carefully comparing the educational offer in multilateral fashion. Such work can involve up to 12 partner universities, as it is the case in Teacher Training and Education. The average number of universities involved in developing equivalences for any given subject area is four, and most groups remain open to welcome colleagues from CE universities that would like to cooperate.

The information compiled in the databases can accessed at online at matrices.campuseuropae.org.
