UK ENIC was previously known as UK NARIC and was renamed UK ENIC after the UK left the European Union. It is managed by Ecctis for the UK government's Department for Education. UK ENIC gets its authority from the Lisbon Recognition Convention, which came into effect in 1997; countries that have signed the Convention must ensure they can recognise qualifications from other countries and must set up a national agency for recognition, duties UK ENIC performs for the UK government. UK ENIC also participates in the ENIC-NARIC Networks, through which the European Network of Information Centres (ENIC) and National Academic Recognition Information Centres in the European Union (NARIC) work together to make it easier to find information about qualifications and recognition in different countries.
