The NARIC network   is the EU network of national academic recognition information centres. It includes the NARIC centres of the EU member states and associated countries. Normally each NARIC centre is at the same time an ENIC centre, but NARICs also have their specific EU-related functions regarding recognition of qualifications and study credit points within the SOCRATES programme and most of them also serve as contact points providing information regarding the professional recognition under EU directives, see NARIC home page. NARIC network maintains the NARIC Guide to education systems of EU/EEA countries.
