The European Dimension of Vocational Excellence
Cooperation towards a holistic learner-centred approach
Part of the “Meet the Policymakers” webinar series
15
Mar 2024
14:00 – 15:00 CET
Online
Supported by the Erasmus+ programme, Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) are formed by networks of partners that develop local “skills ecosystems” to provide high quality vocational skills to young people and adults, and contribute to regional development, innovation, industrial clusters, smart specialisation strategies and social inclusion.
EURASHE members are invited to join this informal discussion featuring representatives from the European Commission (DG EMPL) and EURASHE Member MCAST.
In the members-only “Meet the Policymakers” webinar series, we explore the main policies and funding opportunities that shape higher education institutions. From quality assurance to applied research, community engagement to regional innovation strategies, these webinars provide EURASHE members with the opportunity to exchange with policy makers at European, national and regional levels on what matters and how to get involved.
This event is open for EURASHE Members only.
