Background

ARACIS is a member of ENAEE and since 2013 has been authorized to award the EUR-ACE^® (EURopean-ACcredited Engineer) label to university engineering Bachelor degree programmes, accredited following ARACIS evaluation.

To this end, ARACIS is periodically evaluated by ENAEE in respect of its standards and procedures when accrediting engineering degree programs. Following the latest external evaluation by ENAEE, the EUR-ACE Certification Committee for 2019 approved the re-authorization of the Agency to award the EUR-ACE^® label until 31 December 2022.

In September 2021, the ARACIS Council approved the documentation for the re-authorization of ARACIS by ENAEE and communicated it to the Network, in order to start the external evaluation process.
