  • Analyse the barriers existing for their fulfilment, with particular but not exclusive reference to four target countries: France, Italy, Portugal and Spain;
  • Analyse how an EDLabel and joint programmes enhance the global attractiveness of the European Higher Education System;
  • Analyse the procedure for the issue of an EDLabel and its format, along with potential barriers to be addressed.
  • Produce detailed recommendations on the basis of the project’s findings.
