UNESCO has for decades promoted the recognition of higher education studies, degrees and diplomas in the six regions of the world, in an attempt to encourage countries to ensure that higher education credentials obtained abroad due to academic mobility are recognized, and that knowledge and talent flow to foster mutual understanding and economic and social development at an international scale. 

Academic mobility in the region is gradually moving towards a new stage. Some factors, external to higher education systems, are clearly emerging, such as demographic transformations, migrations or technological developments, among others. These can represent both challenges and opportunities in the sense that they can promote the consolidation of a shared space for knowledge, science and research.

For all these reasons, at UNESCO IESALC we promote the necessary mechanisms to guarantee the mobility of professionals, thus strengthening a model of social leadership that allows economic and sustainable development of countries.

Thanks to the Regional Convention for the Recognition of Studies, Degrees and Diplomas in Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, we can guarantee that migratory flows incorporate the recognition of talent as a social value of our region.
