Synopsis of national research in VET and HRD: WIFO Gateway, Europe
A first attempt has been made to present an overview of national VET and HRD research across Europe, including all the new EU member states. Drawing on country reports prepared by experts cooperating in the Cedefop network ReferNet, a synopsis of national research has been compiled, which is easily accessible from www.b.shuttle.de/wifo/vet-hrd/=grid.htm
The synopsis is structured according to individual countries and to selected aspects of national VET and HRD research, including the following:
- •
context of national VET/HRD policies;
- •
context of EU policies and programmes;
- •
issues and themes of VET/HRD projects;
- •
major institutions involved in VET/HRD research;
- •
funding frameworks of VET/HRD research;
- •
professional research associations related to VET/HRD;
- •
contact persons in VET/HRD research; and
- •
references to VET/HRD research resources.
In addition, a review has been prepared for each country, highlighting issues of current and future VET/HRD research in the national context.
The synopsis is part of the European Research Overview (ERO), developed by Cedefop in cooperation with the Research Forum WIFO. There are links leading from the brief country presentations to more detailed information provided in the ERO Base, including the original country reports. This rich resource base, available on the website of the European Training Village (see www.trainingvillage.gr/etv/projects_networks/ero/base.asp), offers information on experts, projects and papers in VET and HRD across European countries.
