AdReN is an institutional network created to facilitate the cooperation at national, European, and international level among stakeholders active in the Adriatic area, Western Balkans and in the European Higher Education Area sharing their commitment in the field of higher education. It was launched in 2018, upon the initiative of CIMEA, with the first meetings of the National Information Centres of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia and Slovenia.

Its mission consists of creating synergies among the adhering institutions, with the main objective of increasing students and staff mobility and achieving the common goal of automatic recognition of qualifications, in line with the Lisbon Recognition Convention (LRC) principles, the European Commission relevant directives/recommendations and the EHEA goals.

AdReN is open to welcome new institutions willing to adhere to its mission. Participation is on a voluntary basis and free of charge.
