☰ Meni

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 15th Knowledge Platform Forum, entitled The European Degree Label – From Initiative Development to Implementation, organised by the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Slovenia as an online event on Monday, 21 September 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (CEST).

During the event, we will present the Operational Guide for the Joint European Degree Label, published by the European Commission earlier this year, and open a discussion on the opportunities and challenges related to its implementation within the Slovenian higher education system. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between the Joint European Degree Label, the development of joint study programmes, quality assurance in higher education, and the expectations of students and employers.

A draft programme is attached, available only in Slovenian.

Registration is available on the website of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth, where the final programme will also be published at the beginning of September:
