Services

With regard to the ECML, the KMK-Secretariat acts as Contact Point and Nominating Authority. The Secretariat continuously informs the Education Ministries of the Länder – about ECML activities and - after prior consultation with the Goethe-Institut – nominates experts for ECML meetings. Selection and nomination of experts is the result of a decision-making procedure within the KMK whereby the Länder consult internally with appropriate institutions and professionals.
