The UNICA BL meeting offered a unique opportunity to meet and exchange insights and ideas on the latest developments of the EHEA.
The following topics were discussed:
- Building Bridges and overcoming differences: the methodology of the Be-twin ECTS and ECVET project.
UNICA is involved in the Be-twin project, a very challenging initiative coordinated by the Chambre de Commerce de Paris. Within this project, UNICA was responsible for the preparation of a
methodology to link ECVET and ECTS credits. The methodology is already completed and we have the pleasure to provide you with the electronic publication
in attachment. Ms Vera Statsna, UNICA expert from Charles University Prague, together with Prof. Arthur Mettinger, chair of the UNICA Bologna Lab, presented the Be-twin methodology at the UNICA BL meeting.
