Web Intelligence Hub — Landscaping Workshop

Veranstalter: Cedefop and Eurostat

Der von Eurostat und Cedefop orga­ni­sier­te Workshop bringt vom 19. bis 20. Oktober in den Räumlichkeiten des Cedefop in Thessaloniki Vertreter natio­na­ler sta­ti­sti­scher Ämter (NSIs), ICEs, Forscher und Entwickler zusammen. Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung werden die neuesten Trends bei der Nachfrage auf dem euro­päi­schen Arbeitsmarkt unter­sucht, wie sie sich in Online-Stellenanzeigen (OJAs) und anderen rele­van­ten Quellen widerspiegeln.

Im Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen stehen zentrale Aspekte des Projekts, darunter die Repräsentativität von OJAs im Verhältnis zu offenen Stellen auf den euro­päi­schen Arbeitsmärkten, die Bewertung bestehen­der Webquellen und die Identifizierung neuer Quellen, Methoden zur Verbesserung der Qualität der erhobenen Daten nahezu in Echtzeit sowie sich abzeich­nen­de Trends bei der Nachfrage nach neuen Berufsbildern in den 27 EU-Mitgliedstaaten, den EFTA-Ländern und dem Vereinigten Königreich.

Ziel des Workshops ist es, eine Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Projektentwicklungen vor­zu­neh­men, Schwerpunktbereiche für die Verbesserung der Erhebungs- und Klassifizierungsprozesse für Online-Stellenanzeigen zu iden­ti­fi­zie­ren und durch län­der­über­grei­fen­de Vergleiche der Daten sowie deren Repräsentativität für die natio­na­len Arbeitsmärkte Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Der Workshop bietet zudem die Gelegenheit, die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Eurostat, Cedefop, EURES und den natio­na­len Statistikämtern weiter zu stärken.

Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist nur auf Einladung möglich.

Social Aims of Vocational Education and Training

33rd annual VET & Culture Meeting 2026

VET & Culture Network

Across diverse cultural and socio-economic contexts, vocational education and training (VET) systems pursue a complex balance of aims.  While the economic aim of providing a skilled workforce for the labour market often dominates policy discourse, VET also serves important social aims. These aims, and the ways they are prioritized, are shaped by different political cultures, conflicting values and specific conceptions about education, work, and citizenship.

The 33rd VET & Culture meeting will provide an opportunity to examine from a comparative perspective, how social aims are understood and implemented in VET across different political and cultural contexts.

Call for papers open until 15 February 2026

Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting

International Seminar

LUMSA University

The closing event of the Erasmus+ project Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting (L2L MicroCred) will present the project results, further exploring possible implementation in the twinning regions. The project develops open-access micro-credentials to promote lifelong learning, employability and social inclusion. Launched in November 2024, the project brings together four partner universities – Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, University of Limerick, LUMSA University and Central Queensland University – in an international collaboration aimed at developing innovative, flexible and inclusive educational opportunities for adults in different regional contexts. The seminar will offer the opportunity to learn about and discuss the main results achieved during the project. The micro-credentials developed by the partner universities will be presented, together with the Learning Design Toolbox, a digital and operational guide for the design of short, inclusive training courses capable of fostering the involvement and motivation of adults in training. The program also includes a discussion on the possibilities of transferring, adapting and enhancing the results of the project in additional educational, professional and territorial contexts. Participation is free upon registration by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/ADY2LbY1Aojijrj29

Sustainability in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

5th G.R.E.A.T. Conference

German Research Center for Comparative Vocational Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.), University of Cologne

The conference will address current issues and findings within the context of sustainability in VET. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), initiated in 2015 in the United Nations’ publication ‘Transforming our World’, declare VET as a central aspect of Goal 4 of the SDGs, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (UN, 2015, 17). Within the context of the conference, a broad understanding of the concept of sustainability will be applied, integrating scientific papers from a wide range of perspectives. Consequently, both conceptual and empirical contributions are welcomed. In addition to ecological topics, social and economic issues can also be the focus of investigation, whether at the macro, meso or micro-level of VET. Contributions may also focus on formal, non-formal, or informal learning, as well as on topics such as green VET, gender, migration, demographic change, AI, or other areas that can be meaningfully linked to sustainability in VET. The call for papers is open until 15 January 2026
