Austria Forum on vali­da­ti­on of trans­ver­sal competences

At the national final event of the TRANSVAL-EU project on 16 May, all stakeholders are invited to discuss the project results on issues related to the validation of transversal competences.

Since the beginning of 2021, 16 project partners from seven countries have col­la­bo­ra­ted in the TRANSVAL-EU project, the largest European policy expe­ri­ment in the field of vali­da­ti­on of trans­ver­sal com­pe­ten­ces acquired outside the formal learning context. At the Austrian closing event on 16 May 2023, policy makers, rese­ar­chers, guidance and vali­da­ti­on experts and prac­ti­tio­ners will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to gain insights into the project’s ori­en­ta­ti­on and results, the piloting and the evidence-based findings of the accom­pany­ing sci­en­ti­fic research, as well as to discuss impli­ca­ti­ons and the outlook for the Austrian vali­da­ti­on practice.

Further infor­ma­ti­on about the event and regi­stra­ti­on can be found here.
