Since 1986, it is operating on the basis of an agreement with the MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and Research). CIMEA is the Italian centre within the NARIC network (National Academic Recognition Information Centres), ENIC network (European Network of National Information Centres on academic recognition and mobility) and MERIC network (Mediterranean Recognition Information Centres).

CIMEA owns an international documentation centre and a few specialised databases and gives information to individuals about the recognition of foreign study qualifications, provides advice to institutions on the comparability of foreign qualifications, promotes the free movement of citizens and participates in several EU projects.

The European Consortium for Accreditation in Higher Education (ECA) was founded in 2003 as a project organisation with the primary aim of mutual recognition of accreditation decisions. Since 15th April 2014 ECA is an association. 

The membership of ECA consists of QA agencies with a focus on accreditation in the EHEA. There are currently 15 member agencies from 11 European countries: Belgium (Flanders), Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden. 

The vision of ECA is to act as an internationally recognised driver of innovation in quality assurance. With its expertise, networking and services ECA contributes to the implementation of the EHEA, promotes internationalisation of higher education and assures “state of the art” activities of its members.

This programme offers the unique opportunity for interdisciplinary studies of law and economics at two or even three European and Non-European universities. Each partner university awards a Master degree (equivalent to LL.M. / M.A. / M.Sc.).

The programme provides students with an advanced understanding of the economic effects of divergent laws and prepares students for a professional career, for example, in public organisations, in multinational law firms or consultancy firms. Graduates are also well prepared for doctorate research in a Ph.D. programme such as the European Doctorate in Law and Economics.
The EMLE has been recognized by the European Commission as an Erasmus+: Erasmus Mundus Master Programme of "outstanding academic quality".

Neurasmus is developped through the active cooperation of 6 partner universities and 4 Associated Members.

The 6 Neurasmus academic partners (Université de Bordeaux, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, UMG Universitätsmedizin Göttingen, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Universidade de Coimbra, Université Laval) are sites of excellence in neuroscience and have a proven track record of close collaboration. Most of them are part of the European Neuroscience Campus Network, a new organization of Neuroscience Centres in Europe, with the aim to organize - and formalize - research collaborations, align grant acquisition strategies and create exchange opportunities at all levels of education and professional work.

In order to boost future brain research in Europe, Neurasmus offers a stimulating, interdisciplinary training environment for young neuroscientists with the goal to prepare them for future challenges in neuroscience research.By joining the complementary forces of the consortium members, the programme offers a unique interdisciplinary and integrated approach of normal brain function and of brain diseases. By fostering collaboration of the scientists and institutions involved across Europe, the Neurasmus Joint Master Programme constitutes an excellent, pan-European networking and career development platform for the participating Master students.

Great works are often inspired by a human dream. Such was, as quite a number of the founders declare, the origin of Pultusk Academy of Humanities (formerly: Pultusk School of Humanities), a school for higher education opened in a small town, actively pursuing its statutory activity and providing its students with quality education. The ‘ATENA' Academic Education and Research Society, the founding body of Pultusk School of Humanities, by making its successful attempt at turning that idea into reality, over 10 years ago, made it possible for lots of young people to obtain higher education.

Moscow Public University, founded in 1908 through the initiative of Alfons L. Shanyavsky, an eminent Russian patron of arts, played a special role in Russian education.

Up to 1918, it was Russia’s first “free” university center unfettered by formal limitations and open to everyone “truly thirsting for knowledge”. It implemented the progressive principles of alternative education in conjunction with a sound academic foundation available to all.

In 2012, Russian State University for the Humanities celebrates the 100th anniversary of its main building, whichbelonged to Moscow Public University before the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Moscow State Institute for History and Archives was founded in 1930 for training archive studies specialists.

Over the years it became a center of academic research. In its archival pursuits in the areas of history and such auxiliary realms as the study of primary sources, archaeology and palaeontology, it managed to preserve the very best of the Russian research tradition.

By the beginning of the 1990s this institution achieved the level of “university”, which naturally enabled it to become the structural heart of RSUH, which was founded in 1991.

Russian State University for the Humanities is one of the leading universities in Russia. Based on century-long traditions, it is also poised on the cutting edge of innovations.
