For the sake of clarity, the information has been organised in the following three categories:  \n• conversion for recognition purposes (ects credits usage, conversion formulas, etc.);  \n• conversion for purposes other than recognition;  \n• no conversion procedures in place.  \nthe second chapter will contain a synthetic database on the main grading scale systems in place in 107 countries worldwide, that will also be uploaded on-line as an interactive tool searchable for country of origin, in order to reach the maximum possible visibility and accessibility for all centres.  \nFinally, the conclusions of the publication will highlight the most interesting conversion cases and suggest future applications of this research, in view of the foreseen developments in this field.  \n1 in the database, the gradings scales of the eu countries are included, that actively contributed to the project.  \nCHAPTER 1  \ngrAding scAle systems conversion criteriA:  \ntHe FeedbAcK received From tHe enic-nAric centres  \n1.1 ENIC-NARIC CENTREs UsING GRADE CONvERsION fOR RECOGNITION PURPOsEs  \nin the month of June, the italian nAric sent out an enquiry on the enic-nAric listserv, in order to receive feedback on the grade conversion procedures existing at each centre. eight of them replied that they do apply such procedures: Albania, denmark, greece, georgia, germany, lithuania, Portugal and spain.  \nthe fact that immediately struck our attention was that, also within this first group, conversion procedures are not homogeneous and they are applied in a very wide and different range of cases.  \nFor instance, sometimes marks are converted for admission to specific courses or to decide upon the assignment of state-funded grants-as it happens in the lithuanian and the Albanian centres. in other cases, it is a measure limited to qualifications of upper secondary education only, as it happens in denmark, or the conversion can also simply be based on a formula regardless of its purpose.  \nin Albania, the national ministry of education does convert grades to decide upon the award of national grants for Phd students intending to move abroad. the conversion is based on a simple comparison between the Albanian grading scalesand the ones used in the target country. For ordinary academic recognition purposes, each Higher education institution is responsible for the conversion of marks, if judged necessary for the sake of the recognition procedure.  \nin lithuania a similar situation emerged, since grades are mainly converted to assign state-funded places in Higher education institutions and the admission is based on the achieved school results.
