ArmInfo. On May 13, the Armenian government approved a proposal to conclude an agreement on the mutual recognition of documents on academic degrees in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The purpose of the agreement is to eliminate restrictions and prohibitions in the field of labor migration by recognizing the conformity of documents on academic degrees (based on the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union of May 29, 2014). The agreement is expected to be signed by December 31, 2022.
"This agreement will regulate the mutual recognition of documents on academic degrees in order to provide access to professional activities in the field of labor migration in the state of employment (member state of the EAEU) for persons who have these documents," the document says.
According to the EEC website, the Agreement provides for mutual direct recognition of documents issued in the member states on the academic degrees of workers for the implementation of professional activities. Currently, in order to recognize academic degrees in the state of employment, it is necessary to go through the nostrification (recognition) procedure, which differs in the EAEU countries in terms of complexity and duration. This complicates the movement of highly qualified scientific workers within the EAEU. The draft agreement is aimed at creating favorable conditions for the movement of highly qualified workers and the implementation of joint research projects in the EAEU states
