• Cooperation at international level has to be organised within a national and local agreement framework. This makes cooperation more complex.
• More cooperation at accreditation level is needed:– In the Netherlands: NVAO– In France: ACA, ECA, ENQA, …– In …After a common bachelor’s degree and a common
master’s degree we have to take a next step: a common accreditation
