The Rectors' Conference of the Swiss Universities (CRUS) has formulated recommendations on the definition and classification of continuing education at university level for the universities and Federal Institutes of Technology:

CRUS recommendations (pdf, German, 139 kb) for the coordinated renewal of teaching at Switzerland's universities and Federal Institutes of Technology in the framework of the Bologna process, 16 June 2004. This overall presentation covers all the key subject areas of the Bologna process in which the universities are required to develop and put into practice appropriate implementation solutions, acting under their own responsibility yet on a coordinated basis throughout Switzerland. The recommendations serve as a tool for the universities and are continually aligned and supplemented. (The provisions for continuing education at university level may be found in Chapters 4−6.)
