This document discusses the implementation of Degree Supplements (DS) at higher education institutions in Lebanon. It provides an agenda for a meeting to discuss experiences from partner universities in implementing DS templates and integrating them into study program planning and quality management processes. Each university will present their individual approach, timeline, and any open issues. The goal is to bring together experiences to inform further planning and the technical implementation of DS in study programs starting in the autumn semester.
