The
governance of the ENIC and NARIC Networks are supported by two consultative and
coordinative bodies, having different functions:
1. ENIC Bureau (EB) and NARIC Advisory
Board (NAB)
The ENIC
Bureau (EB) was established by the ENIC Network, in close collaboration with
UNESCO and the Council of Europe, in their role as Co-Secretariat of the LRC.
Meanwhile, the NARIC Advisory Board (NAB) was established by the NARIC Network, under the European Commission. The
EB/NAB reports to the ENIC and NARIC Networks.
The
EB/NAB:
·
provides advice on the design, implementation and monitoring of
the workplan, oversees the preparation of meetings, and prepares position
papers on the recognition of qualifications and relations with the other
stakeholders;
·
makes recommendations to UNESCO, the Council of Europe, and the
European Commission on academic mobility and recognition issues;
·
may represent the ENIC-NARIC Network at events organised by
stakeholders and other entities to improve its function and visibility.
The EB is composed of elected members from individual ENIC,
with due regard to geographical and gender balance, in addition to expertise in
qualification recognition polices. Current elected members are:
· Ms. Jenneke Lokhoff (President),
ENIC-NARIC Netherlands;
· Ms. Chiara Finocchietti (Vice-President), ENIC-NARIC Italy;
· Mr. Paul Norris (Vice-President), ENIC United Kingdom.
Similarly,
the NAB is composed of elected members from individual NARIC.Current
elected members are:
·
Ms. Cecilia George, ENIC-NARIC Sweden;
·
Ms. Angela Lambkin, ENIC-NARIC Ireland;
· Ms. Ingrid Wadsack-Köchl, ENIC-NARIC Austria
Elected members commit to participating in four yearly
meetings. The composition of the EB/NAB is reviewed every two years, through an
electoral process during the Annual Joint Meeting of the ENIC-NARIC Networks.
2. Working Party on Electronic Communication
for Recognition (ELCORE Working Group)
The Working Party on Electronic Communication for Recognition
(ELCORE Working Group) was established by the ENIC Bureau (EB) and NARIC
Advisory Board (NAB), in close collaboration with UNESCO, the Council of Europe
and the European Commission. The ELCORE
Working Group reports to the EB/NAB, and provides advice on issues related to
the Lisbon Recognition Convention electronic provision of information. The aim
of the ELCORE Working Group is to foster capacity building and oversight of the
ENIC-NARIC Networks’:
· information
system management and development (e.g., ENIC-NARIC.net Web site, listserv);
· strategic
communication (e.g., social media channels).
The ELCORE Working Group is composed of members from
individual ENIC-NARIC, with due regard to geographical and gender balance, in
addition to expertise in electronic provision of information, strategic
communication and policy. Current members are:
· Mr. Nathanaël Poli (Chair), ENIC Canada;
· Ms. Karolina
Kasperaviciute, ENIC Holy See;
· Ms. Malin Gustavsson, ENIC-NARIC Sweden.
