Legally binding ex-ante recognition and cooperation agreement

Last Friday the Law faculties and departments of the Universities of Eastern Finland, Lodz, Luxembourg, Gazi, Vytautas Magnus and European Humanities University signed a cooperation agreement that sets out the future development of the subject committee activities and enshrines the right of CE Movers to be granted recognition  for courses completed at the host university.

The diversity of legal education in Europe has led the subject committee through complex discussions on how to best foster student exchanges. Law being a subject area that historically does not lend itself to student mobility the signatory universities agreed on the establishment of a reciprocal system for the recognition of courses in the form of compatibility matrices, based on mutual trust for the quality standards of the faculties of the Member Universities.
