habilitation
Post-doctoral teaching license
Habilitation is the process of equipping someone with abilities or resources they need to function—distinct from rehabilitation, which restores lost capacities.
In medicine, habilitation helps people with congenital or early-onset disabilities develop skills they never had: The program focuses on habilitation for children with cerebral palsy.
In European academia, habilitation is a postdoctoral credential required to supervise doctoral students and hold a full professorship.
