The use of the European Qualifications Passport for Refugees (EQPR) increases once more.

For the first time since its creation, refugees and students granted international protection will be able to use the EQPR to apply for a scholarship in Italy for the new academic year (2020-2021).

As part of the Conference of Italian University Rectors’ initiative to grant scholarships to refugee students, the call is published jointly with the Ministry of Interior and ANDISU (the National Association of Bodies for the Right to Education at University) and can be found at this link (in both English and Italian). The deadline to submit applications is July 30th, 2020.

The EQPR is a practical tool to promote refugees’ integration. It enables refugees to prove previous qualifications, and public institutions and employers to have access to a credible assessment.
