He moved on to a national information service giving advice on recognition of foreign education until NOKUT &#8211; the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education \u2013 was established in 2003. The information service was then changed into a unit giving formal academic recognition. NOKUT is also the Norwegian ENIC and NARIC office. Mr. Lofstad has been involved in recognition and recognition policy development both at home and internationally until he in 2020 retired from his position at NOKUT to pursue an active and hopefully long career as retiree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>MEMBERSHIPS, CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER TIDBITS IN RANDOM ORDER:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Norwegian
