This report includes a qualitative analysis of the screening, sustainability of the criteria and identification of barriers and recommendations for ensuring its possible implementation in the future.
It draws on information obtained from several sources, including a series of focus groups and in‐depth interviews with stakeholders; the second EDLab workshop held on 11‐12th January 2024 and the results of the three surveys carried out within the framework of the EDLab project and reported in D2.1 and D2.2.
Some general considerations have been adopted by the EDLab project team on key aspects related to the European degree label. These considerations have shaped the decisions taken regarding our recommendations for the criteria and the initial version of the accompanying guidelines that has been developed.
This is accompanied by a glossary of terms which, during the work carried out in WP2, have been misunderstood, interpreted in different ways by different people, or refer to procedures or entities that are unfamiliar to some stakeholders.
Finally, some considerations are offered with regard to the existing barriers to applying the criteria to joint programmes.
