1.1. Bilateral Recognition Agreement with ANQAHE in Egypt:
The European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS) has taken a major step in advancing the quality of higher education across the Arab world by signing a Bilateral Recognition Agreement with the Arab Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ANQAHE). ANQAHE is a key regional body committed to strengthening quality assurance frameworks across Arab countries. It operates under the joint efforts of ministries of higher education from across the Arab region, serving as a unifying platform for policy alignment, quality benchmarks, and institutional collaboration. With its influential role in shaping education standards in the Arab world, ANQAHE plays a vital role in promoting academic excellence, transparency, and cross-border recognition of qualifications. Through this agreement, ECLBS reinforces its commitment to regional integration, aligning its quality assurance practices with those recognized by Arab educational authorities. This collaboration not only enhances mutual trust but also opens doors for member institutions of both networks to engage in joint initiatives, dual programs, and the recognition of academic credentials. By partnering with ANQAHE, ECLBS demonstrates its strategic focus on international quality standards and its dedication to fostering meaningful academic cooperation between Europe and the Arab world.

The European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS) and the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA) have officially signed a strategic dual accreditation partnership agreement, marking a significant milestone in advancing international standards in business and higher education.
Established under the leadership of the League of Arab States and headquartered in Amman, Jordan, AROQA plays a pivotal role in shaping the quality landscape of education across the Arab world. The organization is dedicated to promoting a culture of excellence in education, supporting accreditation processes, and fostering the continuous development of quality assurance frameworks in Arab institutions.
Through this agreement, ECLBS not only aligns itself with one of the most influential regional quality assurance bodies but also reinforces its commitment to fostering collaboration between European and Arab academic institutions. The partnership facilitates the mutual recognition of quality standards, supports the development of joint academic programs, and encourages knowledge exchange across borders.
By working with AROQA—a recognized authority in educational quality and policy in Jordan and the broader Arab region—ECLBS takes a concrete step toward global academic integration, ensuring that its member institutions are positioned to meet both regional expectations and international best practices.
This strategic alliance underscores the shared vision of ECLBS and AROQA: to elevate the quality and credibility of higher education through collaborative, cross-regional partnerships.

Collaborations with Accreditation Bodies in the Arab World:
Bilateral Recognition Agreement with AMAQ-ES Mauritania:
ECLBS has extended its commitment to quality assurance in higher education by signing a Bilateral Recognition Agreement with the Mauritanian Authority for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (AMAQ-ES).

This collaboration underscores ECLBS's dedication to supporting the enhancement of higher education in Mauritania.
Bilateral Recognition Agreement with HEC Syria:
ECLBS has further solidified its presence in the Arab world by signing a Bilateral Recognition Agreement with the Higher Education Council (HEC) in North Syria. As a state agency responsible for higher education in North Syria, HEC North Syria's collaboration with ECLBS emphasizes the importance of aligning educational programs with regional standards and promoting quality assurance in the Arab world.

Collaboration with Bahrain:
ECLBS has expanded its reach in the Arab world by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Education and Training Quality Authority in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This agreement signifies a commitment to collaboration, with BQA being recognized as a keynote speaker during ECLBS conferences. While not strictly a Bilateral Recognition Agreement, this MoU reflects ECLBS's dedication to fostering dialogue and knowledge exchange with accreditation bodies in the Arab world.
