CeQuint
Institutions and programmes may have the quality of their internationalisation efforts assessed by independent, international experts. A positive conclusion entitles programmes to apply to NVAO for the distinctive feature of internationalisation. Both institutions and programmes may apply to ECA for the Certificate for Quality in Internationalisation (CeQuInt).
