Since the establishment of universities of applied sciences, 3s supported the accreditation of new study programmes through feasibility studies. These provide information on the future demand for study places or the labour market
The Council of Europe launched a new project on promoting a culture of democracy in Vocational Education and Training in Europe with Jörg Markowitsch as an expert.
3s coordinates a significant study commissioned by Cedefop titled ‘European VET for the 21st Century: The Balancing of Excellence and Inclusion’.
This three-year Horizon project follows a transformative approach to tackle challenges of the biodiversity and climate crises.
3s takes part in a major Cedefop study on the processes of how to achieve intended learning outcomes in initial vocational education and training in schools and apprenticeships.
3s supports the ex-post evaluation of the 2014–2020 European Social Fund and Youth Employment Initiative under the multiple framework contracts related to the implementation of Better Regulation guidelines.
3s receives 2.4 million Euros from the prestigious Horizon Europe programme to explore how skill systems across Europe can reduce the level of skill mismatch and better respond to developments in their labour markets.
3s conducts research to provide valuable insights for the newly established SALTO Resource Centre to help design and shape their future offer.
In a study for Cedefop, a 3s led research consortium explores the potential of the new Council Recommendation on Individual Learning Accounts and aims to develop tailored guidelines for working towards the implementation.
In preparation for a Vienna Centre for Skilled Workers, the foundations for regular reporting on the topic are being laid. 3s is developing a handbook on the relevant strategic fields of action in Vienna.
The objective of this study is to update the European Inventory on validation of non-formal and informal learning. The study is coordinated by ICF (BE) with 3s as consortium partner.
